We consider a model with soft CP violation which accommodate the CP violation in the neutral kaons even if we assume that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix is real and the sources of CP violation are three complex vacuum…
We show that, contrary to the flavour mixing amplitude q/p, both Re(epsilon) and Im(epsilon) are observable quantities, where epsilon is the phase- convention-independent CP mixing. We consider semileptonic B_d decays from a CP tag and…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unified theories (GUTs) generally predict FCNC and CP violating processes to occur both in the leptonic and hadronic sectors. Assuming an underlying SU(5) group plus right-handed neutrinos (RN), we perform an…
We propose a model of spontaneous CP violation to address the strong CP problem in warped extra dimensions that relies on sequestering flavor and CP violation. We assume that brane-localized Higgs Yukawa interactions respect a U(3) flavor…
We study the possibilities of spontaneous CP violation in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with an extra singlet tadpole term in the scalar potential. We calculate the Higgs boson masses and couplings with radiative…
We study the possibility of having CP asymmetries in the decay Kaon(+/-) -> pion(-/+) lepton(+/-) lepton(+/-) (lepton = muon or electron). This decay violates Lepton Number by two units and occurs only if there are Majorana particles that…
Realizing that couplings related by supersymmetry (SUSY) can be disentangled when SUSY is broken, it is suggested that unwanted flavor and CP violating SUSY couplings may be suppressed via quenched gaugino-flavor interactions, which may be…
Lepton charge asymmetries can be used as an alternative means of searching for new physics. They are interesting because they are small in the Standard Model and therefore, necessarily evidence new physics. In this work we explore the use…
We review the salient features of a comparative study of the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle, and the resulting CP-violating phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ in B decays, in the standard model and in several variants of the…
It is argued that in the context of supersymmetry, the Strong CP Problem is most naturally seen as an aspect (particularly severe) of the whole complex of flavor-violating and CP-violating problems of supersymmetry. It is shown that certain…
Within the minimal Left-Right (LR) symmetric model we revisit the predictions for the kaon CP violating observables $\varepsilon$ and $\varepsilon'$ in correlation with the neutron electric dipole moment. We perform a complete study of the…
We show that supersymmetric $R$-parity breaking ($\not R_p$) interactions always result in Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes. Within a single coupling scheme, these processes can be avoided in either the charge $+2/3$ or the…
We investigate the pattern of CP violation in \Kd, \Bd and \Bs mixing in a symmetrical \model model with spontaneous CP violation. Performing a careful analysis of all relevant restrictions on the model's parameters from $\Delta M_K$,…
The first lattice result from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and improved perturbative calculations of $\varepsilon^{\prime}_K / \varepsilon_K$ have implied that the Standard-Model (SM) expectation deviates from measured values at the…
A review about some recent studies on the determination of the CP-violating complex parameters in supersymmetry at an e^+ e^- linear collider is presented. CP-even observables, like masses, cross sections and branching ratios, can have a…
We discuss the supersymmetric CP problem that arises when the sfermion soft mass universality is modified. We place the 3rd generation SU(5) ten-plet sfermion masses in the weak scale in view of the naturalness. The other sfermion masses…
We study CP violation in semi-leptonic $\tau$ decays and we determine the conditions necessary to be able to define a observable CP asymmetry. We apply these conditions in both models, the standard model for the electroweak interactions and…
We present an extensive analysis of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models with minimal and non-minimal flavour violation. We first demonstrate that low-energy, precision electroweak, and cosmological constraints exclude large…
Spontaneous CP violation, such as the Nelson-Barr (NB) mechanism, is an attractive scenario for addressing the strong CP problem while realizing the observed phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix. However, not…
It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…
