Electroweak Precision Observables in the MSSM with Non-Minimal Flavor Violation
The leading corrections to electroweak precision observables in the MSSM with
non-minimal flavor violation (NMFV) are calculated and the effects on M_W and
sin^2 theta_eff are analyzed. The corrections are obtained by evaluating the
full one-loop contributions from the third and second generation scalar quarks,
including the mixing in the scalar top and charm, as well as in the scalar
bottom and strange sector. Furthermore the leading corrections to the mass of
the lightest MSSM Higgs boson, m_h, is obtained. The electroweak one-loop
contribution to M_W can amount up to 140 MeV and up to 70x10^{-5} for sin^2
theta_eff, allowing to set limits on the NMFV parameters. The corrections for
m_h are not significant for moderate generation mixing.Comment: LaTeX, 21 pages, 8 figures. Complete one-loop effects from scalar

Precision SUSY Physics
We review the theoretical status and the future perspectives of the most
important electroweak precision observables in the MSSM. This comprises the
mass of the W boson, M_W, the effective leptonic mixing angle,
sin^2(theta_eff), the mass of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson, m_h, and the
anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a_\mu. The impact of the parametric
uncertainties from the experimental errors of the input parameters is studied,
and an estimate for the remaining uncertainties from unknown higher-order
corrections is given. The need for future improvements in the theory
predictions is investigated.Comment: 6 pages, invited talk at "Loops & Legs in Quantum Field Theory 2004",
