CP violation has so far been observed in one system only, namely in the decays of neutral kaons, and it can still be described by a single real quantity corresponding to a superweak scenario. In these lectures I describe why limitations on…

Supersymmetric CP violating phases are examined within the framework of gravity mediated supergravity grand unified models with R parity invariance for models with a light ($\stackrel{<}{\sim} 1$ TeV) particle spectrum. In the minimal…

We study the capability of a $2 TeV$ $p\overline{p}$ collider with an integrated luminosity of $10 fb^{-1}$ to study CP violation in the processes $p \bar{p} \ra W^\pm \gamma$ and $p \bar{p} \ra Z \gamma$. We assume the existence of new CP…

The framework of Higgs-dependent Yukawa couplings allows one to eliminate small couplings from the Standard Model, which can be tested at the LHC. In this work, I study the conditions for CP violation to occur in such models. I identify a…

We calculate the width difference of the scalar electron decay, $\Gamma(\tilde e_L \to e_L\omega) - \Gamma({\bar{\tilde e}}_L \to \bar e_L\omega)$ in the softly broken supersymmetrized standard model. The CP asymmetry is assumed to arise…

The measurement of CP asymmetries in charged B meson decays might provide the first demonstration of CP violation outside the K system. Among the usual three CP-odd phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, the phase $\gamma$ seems to be the…

If the geometry of space-time is $\nc$, i.e. $[x_{\mu},x_{\nu}]=i \theta_{\mu \nu}$, then $\nc$ $\cpviolng$ effects may be manifest at low energies. For a $\nc$ scale $\Lambda \equiv \theta^{-1/2} \leq 2 TeV$, $\cpviol$ from $\ncg$ is…

Quantitative understanding of CP violation is extremely important as naturalness reasoning strongly suggests that new physics should be accompanied by beyond the Standard Model CP-odd phases. In 2019 LHCb made the first $5 \sigma$ discovery…

Strictly within the standard electro-weak interaction, CP violation in the flavour conserving process $\eta \ra \pi + \pi $ could originate from the mixing of the $\eta$ meson with the virtual scalar Higgs $ H^{0}$ via $ W^{+}+W^{-}$ and…

We make a systematic analysis of the effects of new physics in the B decay amplitudes on the CP asymmetries in neutral B decays. Although these are expected to be smaller than new physics effects on the mixing amplitude, they are easier to…

We review CP violation in various extensions of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. A particular emphasis is put on supersymmetric models. We describe the two CP problems of supersymmetry, concerning $d_N$ and $\epsilon_K$. We…

We explore the prospects for bounding the weak scale using the weak gravity conjecture (WGC), addressing the hierarchy problem by violating the expectations of effective field theory. Building on earlier work by Cheung and Remmen, we…

The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is a proposed constraint on theories with gauge fields and gravity, requiring the existence of light charged particles and/or imposing an upper bound on the field theory cutoff $\Lambda$. If taken as a…

CP violation plays a privileged role in our quest for new physics beyond the electroweak standard model (SM). In the SM the violation of CP in the weak interactions has a single source: the phase of the quark mixing matrix (the CKM matrix,…

The one loop supersymmetric electro-weak correction to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is derived in the minimal N=1 supergravity unification with two CP violating phases. A numerical analysis of the CP violating effects on…

We consider a wide range of UV scenarios with the aim of informing searches for CP violation at the TeV scale using effective field theory techniques. We demonstrate that broad theoretical assumptions about the nature of UV dynamics…

We propose a minimal set of weak-basis invariants in an extension of the SM where one up-type isosinglet vector-like quark is introduced, which allows us to obtain all the physical content of the CKM matrix. We present CP-odd invariants of…

CP-violating effects in non-leptonic $B_s$-meson decays are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to implications arising from the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates. If $\Delta\Gamma_s$ is found to be…

CP violation by soft supersymmetry-breaking terms in orbifold compactifications is investigated. We include the universal part of the moduli-dependent threshold corrections in the construction of the non-perturbative effective potential due…

We investigate the effect on the sphaleron in the two Higgs doublet electroweak theory of including CP violation in the Higgs potential. To have better control over the relation between the sphaleron energy and the physical quantities in…
