- Abstract
We study quark flavor violation (QFV) in the squark sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We assume mixing between the second and the third squark generations, i.e. - mixing. We focus on QFV effects in bosonic squark decays, in particular on the decay into the lightest Higgs boson h(0), -> h(0), where are the lightest up-type squarks. We show that the branching ratio of this QFV decay can be quite large (up to 50%) due to large QFV trilinear couplings, and large - and - mixing, despite the strong constraints on QFV from B meson data. This can result in characteristic QFV final states with significant rates at LHC (14 TeV), such as pp -> -> t + h(0) + 3 jets + is not an element of(T) + X and pp -> -> tt (or (tt) over bar) + h(0) + 2 jets+ is not an element of(T) + X. The QFV bosonic squark decays can have an influence on the squark and gluino searches at LHC.
