RGE behaviour of U(2)^3 symmetry in SUSY

From the naturalness point of view, the first LHC results seem to disfavour any constrained MSSM realization with universal conditions at the SUSY-breaking scale. A more motivated scenario is given by split-family SUSY, in which the first two generations of squarks are heavy, compatible with a U(2)^3 flavour symmetry. Here, after reviewing the flavour structures obtained in this framework, we consider the flavour symmetry to be broken at a very high scale, and study the consequences at low energies through its RGE evolution. Initial conditions compatible with a split scenario are found, and the preservation of correlations from minimal U(2)^3 breaking are checked.
