Single-Coupling Bounds on R-parity violating Supersymmetry, an update

Abstract

We update the single-coupling bounds on R-parity violating supersymmetry using the most up to date data as of October 2009. In addition to the data listed in the 2009 Review of Particle Properties [1], we utilize a new determination of the weak charge of cesium-133 [2], and preliminary τ -decay branching fractions from Babar [3]. Analysis of semileptonic D-decay is improved by the inclusion of experimentally measured form-factors into the calculation of the Standard Model predictions.
