Probing Physics Beyond the Standard Model with Flavor Observables

Low energy flavor observables are highly sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model (BSM).

If the BSM physics contains new sources of flavor and CP violation, low energy observables can have sensitivities to mass scales far beyond the direct reach of the LHC.

I will illustrate this point in the context of a supersymmetric model where sfermions are a loop factor heavier than gauginos.

I will discuss the most sensitive low energy probes including electric dipole moments, neutral meson mixing and charged lepton flavor violating transitions and show that sfermions with masses of 100 TeV- 1000 TeV can be probed with a large number of current and future experiments.
