Such mixing does not appear in the standard CKM phenomenology, but may induce significant b to s transitions through gluino diagrams. Working in the mass eigenbasis, we show quantitatively that an order one effect on CP violation in B_d to phi+K_S is possible due to a large mixing between right-handed b and s squarks, while still satisfying constraints from b to s + gamma. We also include the effect of right- and left-handed bottom squark mixing proportional to m_b*mu*tan(beta). For small mu*tan(beta) there may also be a large effect in B_s mixing correlated with a large effect in B_d to phi+K_S, typically mixing effects are greater than 100 ps^{-1}, an unambiguous signal of new physics at Tevatron Run II.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2003-05-06T23:10:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Ff", "12.60.Jv", "13.25.Hw", "12.10.Dm" ], "keywords": [ "atmospheric neutrinos", "beauty strange", "large effect", "standard ckm phenomenology", "induce significant" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
