In supersymmetric models, there are new CP violating phases which, if unsuppressed, would give a too large neutron electric dipole moment. We examine the possibility of small SUSY phases in string-inspired supergravity models in which…
Recently it has been demonstrated that large phases in softly broken supersymmetric theories are consistent with electric dipole moment constraints, and are motivated in some (Type I) string models. Here we consider whether large…
We study the CP phases of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in string-inspired models with non-universal trilinear couplings. We show that such non-universality plays an important role on all CP violating processes. In particular these…
A review is given of CP violation in a broad class of models based on supersymmetry, superstrings and brane models. Such models contain typically large CP violating phases which affect a variety of supersymmetric phenomenon at low energies…

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…
It is well known that supersymmetry (SUSY) gives neutron and electron electric dipole moments ($d_n$ and $d_e$) which are too large by about $10^{3}$. If we assume a SUSY model cannot contain fine-tunings or large mass scales, then one must…
Possible CP violation in supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the Standard Model (SM) is discussed. The consequences of CP violating phases in the gaugino masses, trilinear soft supersymmetry-breaking terms and the `mu' parameter are…
We study the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in string models with the dilaton field stabilized at a phenomenologically acceptable value. We consider three mechanisms to stabilize the dilaton: multiple gaugino condensates, a…
Non-universality in the soft breaking terms is a common feature in most superstring inspired SUSY models. This property is required to obtain sizeable CP violation effects from SUSY and, on the other hand, can be used to avoid the Electric…
Supersymmetric models with a high supersymmetry breaking scale give, in general, large contributions to epsilon_K and/or to various electric dipole moments, even when contributions to CP conserving, flavor changing processes are…
We analyze CP violation in supersymmetry with Effective Minimal Flavour Violation, as recently proposed in arXiv:1011.0730. Unlike the case of standard Minimal Flavour Violation, we show that all the phases allowed by the flavour symmetry…
We review the present status of CP violating problem in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. We analyze the constraints imposed by the experimental limits of the electron, neutron, and mercury electric dipole moments on the…
We revisit the supersymmetric CP problem and find that it can be naturally resolved if the origin of CP violation is closely related to the origin of flavour structures. In this case, the supersymmetry breaking dynamics do not bring in any…
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,…
Supersymmetry exhibts new sources of CP violation. We discuss the implications of these new contributions to CP violation both in the K and B physics. We show that CP violation puts severe constraints on low energy SUSY, but it represents…
We find that dilaton dominated supersymmetry breaking and spontaneous CP violation can be achieved in heterotic string models with superpotentials singular at the fixed points of the modular group. A semi--realistic picture of CP violation…

We show that the quark flavour structure and CP violating phenomena are strongly correlated in supersymmetric theories. For a generic pattern of supersymmetry breaking the two broad categories of Yukawa couplings, democratic and…
A brief overview is given of recent developments in the analyses of large phases and CP violation in supersymmetric unified models. The problem of experimental electric dipole moment constraints and large phases is discussed. Implications…
