Flavored scalar models with a Froggatt-Nielsen symmetry make D-meson decays a major production source for long-lived scalars at FASER/FASER2, with reach presented model-independently in branching fraction and lifetime-over-mass.

abstract
For generic squark masses, box diagrams with squarks and gluinos give unacceptably large contributions to neutral meson ($K$, $B$ and $D$) mixing. The standard solution to this problem is to assume that squarks are degenerate to a very good approximation. We suggest an alternative mechanism to suppress squark contributions to flavor changing neutral currents: the alignment of quark with squark mass matrices. This mechanism arises naturally in the framework of Abelian horizontal symmetries.

Flavor at FASER: Discovering Light Scalars Beyond Minimal Flavor Violation
Flavored scalar models with a Froggatt-Nielsen symmetry make D-meson decays a major production source for long-lived scalars at FASER/FASER2, with reach presented model-independently in branching fraction and lifetime-over-mass.
