Phases and CP Violation in SUSY

Abstract

We discuss CP violation in supersymmetric theories and show that CP phenomena can act as a probe of their origins, i.e., compactification and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. CP violation as a probe of the flavor structure of supersymmetric theories is also discussed. A brief overview is given of several low energy phenomena where CP phases can produce new effects. These include important CP effects in processes involving sparticles and CP mixing effects in the neutral Higgs boson system. We also discuss the possibility of violations of scaling in the electric dipole moments (EDMs) due to the presence of nonuniversalities and show that with inclusion of nonuniversalities the muon EDM could be up to 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than implied by scaling and within reach of the next generation of experiments. Thus the EDMs are an important probe of the flavor structure of supersymmetric theories.
