I first motivate why we may want to look at possible new physics contributions to epsilon' given relatively clear experimental but unclear theoretical situations. I reexamine the supersymmetric contribution to epsilon' and find an important…
In supersymmetric theories with a motivated flavour structure, we investigate the possibility that an epsilon' parameter as large as the measured value be generated without conflicting with the bounds from electron and neutron electric…
We study the predictions for the direct CP violation parameter epsilon'/epsilon in a class of string-inspired model with non-universal soft A-terms. We show that the non-universality of the A-terms plays an important rule in enhancing the…
In a class of supersymmetric grand unified theories, including those based on the gauge group $SO(10)$, there are new contributions to the electric dipole moments of the neutron and electron, which arise as a heavy top quark effect. These…
There is experimental evidence for a direct CP asymmetry in singly Cabibbo suppressed D decays, \Delta A_{CP} \sim 0.006. Naive expectations are that the Standard Model contribution to \Delta A_{CP} is an order of magnitude smaller. We…
We study the corrections to $\epsilon^\prime /\epsilon$ in the minimal supersymmetric model at the leading order in QCD and QED. Supersymmetry can increase the standard model prediction for $\epsilon^\prime /\epsilon$ by at most 40\% for…
Neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) due to single quark EDM and to the transition EDM is calculated in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Assuming that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix at the grand unification scale is the only…
Requiring that the baryon number of the universe be generated by anomalous electroweak interactions places strong constraints on the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, the electric dipole moment of the neutron must be…
Recently, a scenario has been proposed in which the gravitational scale could be as low as the TeV scale, and extra dimensions could be large and detectable at the electroweak scale. Although supersymmetry is not a requirement of this…
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…
Supersymmetric model contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment arise via quark electric dipole moment operators, whose matrix elements are usually calculated using the Naive Quark Model (NQM). However, experiments indicate that…

Supersymmetric contributions to all leptonic electromagnetic dipole operators have essentially identical diagramatic structure. With approximate slepton universality this allows the muon anomalous magnetic moment to be related to the…
We study if a sizeable muon electric dipole can arise in supersymmetric frameworks able to account for the tight experimental bounds on sfermion masses, like an appropriate flavor symmetry, or like a flavor-blind mechanism of SUSY breaking…
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of the neutron and the electron are reviewed within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model (SSM) based on grand unified theories coupled to N=1 supergravity. Taking into account one-loop and…
We study quark and electron EDMs generated by Yukawa couplings in supersymmetric models with different gauge groups, using the EDM properties under flavour transformations. In the MSSM (or if soft terms are mediated below the unification…
We study contributions of supersymmetric CP phases to the CP violation $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in models with asymmetric $A$-matrices. We consider asymmetric $A$-matrices, which are obtained from string-inspired supergravity. We show that a…
We analyse the CP problem in the context of a supersymmetric extension of the standard model with universal strength of Yukawa couplings. A salient feature of these models is that the CP phases are constrained to be very small by the…
We analyse the CP problem in the context of a supersymmetric extension of the standard model with universal strength of Yukawa couplings. In these models we find a small amount of CP violation from the usual CKM mechanism and therefore a…
Recently KTev collaboration has measured $Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon) = (28\pm 4.1) \times 10^{-4}$ which is in agreement with early measurement from NA31. The Standard Model prediction for $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is on the lower end of the…
