Abstract:
We investigate the low energy phenomenology of the lighter pseudoscalar A10A_1^0 in the NMSSM. The A10A_1^0 mass can naturally be small due to a global U(1)RU(1)_R symmetry of the Higgs potential, which is only broken by trilinear soft terms. The A10A_1^0 mass is further protected from renormalization group effects in the large tanβ\tan \beta limit. We calculate the bsA10b \to s A_1^0 amplitude at leading order in tanβ\tan \beta and work out the contributions to rare KK, BB and radiative Υ\Upsilon-decays and BBˉB -\bar B mixing. We obtain constraints on the A10A_1^0 mass and couplings and show that masses down to O(10){\cal{O}}(10) MeV are allowed. The bb-physics phenomenology of the NMSSM differs from the MSSM in the appearance of sizeable renormalization effects from neutral Higgses to the photon and gluon dipole operators and the breakdown of the MSSM correlation between the Bsμ+μB_s \to \mu^+ \mu^- branching ratio and BsBˉsB_s - \bar B_s mixing. For A10A_1^0 masses above the tau threshold the A10A_1^0 can be searched for in bsτ+τb \to s \tau^+ \tau^- processes with branching ratios \lsim 10^{-3}.
