Supersymmetric contributions to direct CP violation in K -> pi pi gamma decays

We analyze the supersymmetric contributions to direct-CP-violating observables in $K \to \pi\pi\gamma$ decays induced by gluino-mediated magnetic-penguin operators. We find that $\epsp_{+-\gamma}$ and the differential width asymmetry of $K^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^0 \gamma$ decays could be substantially enhanced with respect to their Standard Model values, especially in the scenario where $\epsp/\eps$ is dominated by supersymmetric contributions. These observables could therefore provide a useful tool to search for New Physics effects in $|\Delta S|=1$ transitions, complementary to $\epsp/\eps$ and rare decays.
