We present a supersymmetric solution to the strong CP problem based on spontaneous CP violation which simultaneously addresses the affects coming from supersymmetry breaking. The generated CP violating phase is communicated to the quark…
We point out that the hierarchy between the measured values of the CKM phase and the strong CP phase has a natural origin in supersymmetry with spontaneous CP violation and low energy supersymmetry breaking. The underlying reason is simple…

In this manuscript, we present an explicit way to describe the violation of CP symmetry in the standard model (SM) of electroweak interactions. In such a way, complex Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrices are achieved which stand for the…
On general grounds based on quantum field theory the decay amplitude for $\Sigma^0 \to \Lambda \gamma$ consists of a parity conserving magnetic and a parity violating electric dipole transition moment. Because of the subsequent…
The standard model (SM) has several issues related to the $CP$ violation which could give clues to search physics beyond the SM. They are a $CP$ phase in the CKM matrix, the strong $CP$ problem, $CP$ phases in the PMNS matrix and $CP$…
Spontaneously broken Abelian gauge symmetries can explain the fermion mass hierarchies of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In most cases it is assumed that the $U(1)_H$ symmetry is anomalous. However, non-anomalous models are also…
Recent improvements to the limit of Delta M_{B_s} imply that pure superweak theories, while not excluded, no longer provide a good fit to the data. A class of general superweak theories is introduced in which all flavor changing…
We analyze CP violation in the supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) embedded minimally into a left-right symmetric gauge structure with the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses. With the plausible assumption of universal scalar masses it is…
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,…
Spontaneous CP violation (SCPV) provides a promising solution to the strong CP problem, explaining the smallness of the QCD $\theta$-angle while generating the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase. In the present work, we review and…
A very simple model is presented where all CP violation in Nature is spontaneous in origin. The CKM phase is generated unsuppressed and the strong CP problem is solved with only moderately small couplings between the SM and the CP violation…
The supersymmetric CP problem is studied within superstring-motivated extensions of the MSSM with an additional U(1)' gauge symmetry broken at the TeV scale. This class of models offers an attractive solution to the mu problem of the MSSM,…
$CP$ violating phenomena predicted by the minimal supersymmetric standard model are discussed in a case where the $CP$ violating phases in SUSY sector are not suppressed. The electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron are…
We consider spontaneous CP violation in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), without the usual $Z_3$ discrete symmetry. CP violation can occur at tree level, raising a potential conflict with the experimental bounds on…
Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at $B$ factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done…
The physics of electroweak baryogenesis is described with the aim of making the essentials clear to non-experts. Several models for the source of the necessary CP violation are discussed: CKM phases as in the minimal standard model, general…
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…
The currently favored model of CP violation is based on phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the weak charge-changing couplings of quarks. The present status of parameters of this matrix is described. Tests of the…
Recent progress in the determination of hadronic matrix elements has revealed a tension between the measured value of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}/\epsilon_K$, which quantifies direct $CP$ violation in $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, and the Standard-Model…
