CP Violation in the Higgs Sector of the MSSM

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Recently, it has been found that the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential in the MSSM can be sizeably broken by loop effects due to soft-CP-violating trilinear interactions involving third generation scalar quarks. These soft-CP-violating couplings may be constrained by considering new two-loop contributions to the electron and neutron EDMs. The phenomenological consequences of such a minimal supersymmetric scenario of explicit CP violation at present and future colliders are briefly discussed.
