CP violation in B --> phi K_S decay at large tan(beta)

Abstract

We consider the chargino contribution to the CP violation in B \to \phi K_S decay in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at large \tan\beta. It is shown that the Wilson coefficient C_{8g} of the chromomagnetic penguin operator can be significantly enhanced by the chargino-mediated diagrams while satisfying other direct/indirect experimental constraints. The enhanced C_{8g} allows large deviation in the CP asymmetry from the standard model prediction.
