A program for the NLO calculation of BR[B → Xs γ] in the MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation


Code written by : Giuseppe Degrassi (Università di Roma Tre), Paolo Gambino (Università di Torino) and Pietro Slavich (LPTHE Paris).
Latest version : v 1.7, latest modifications on 10/05/2017.
arXiv:0712.3265 : is the reference to be used for the program [published in Comput. Phys. Commun. 179 (2008) 759-771]. See below for the up-to-date user manual!
hep-ph/0601135 : provides details on the two-loop calculation of the SUSY contributions [published in Phys. Lett. B 635 (2006) 335-342].

The Fortran code SusyBSG calculates the branching ratio for the decay B → Xs γ in the MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation.
The computation takes into account all the available NLO contributions, including the complete supersymmetric QCD corrections to the
Wilson coefficients of the magnetic and chromomagnetic operators, as well as an improved NLO determination of the relation between the
Wilson coefficients and the B → Xs γ branching ratio.

Here we provide the source code and manual, updated information on changes, bugs, etc.
