Description
Flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes, being forbidden in the Standard
Model at the tree level, play an important role in the test of extensions of this
model. One popular class of new physics models are Grand Unified Theories (GUTs).
Such models, when supplemented by flavor symmetries allow for concrete predictions
for various observables - including FCNC processes - in terms of a relatively small
number of parameters.
We report on a detailed analysis of a supersymmetric SO(10) GUT, recently studied in
the literature. We focus on its predictions for FCNCs in the quark sector and
confront them with the existing experimental data.
