Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 4227–4230 (2001)Flavor-Dependent Supersymmetric Phases and CP Asymmetry in B→Xsγ DecaysReceived 10 October 2000; published in the issue dated 7 May 2001 We study the direct CP asymmetry in B→Xsγ decay in supersymmetric models with nonuniversal A terms. We show that the flavor-dependent phases of the A terms, unlike the flavor-independent ones, can give rise to a large contribution to the CP asymmetry while respecting the experimental bounds on the branching ratio of B→Xsγ decay and the electric dipole moments of the electron and neutron. The CP asymmetry of this decay is predicted to be much larger than the standard model prediction in a wide region of the parameter space. In particular, it can be of order 10%–15% which can be accessible at B factories. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
