We investigate Supersymmetric models where neither R parity nor lepton number is imposed. Neutrino masses can be kept highly suppressed compared to the electroweak scale if the $\mu$-terms in the superpotential are aligned with the…
We investigate how the predictions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are modified by D-term contributions to soft scalar masses, which arise whenever the rank of the gauge group at very high energies is greater than four. We give…
The electric dipole moment of the electron is studied in detail in an extended mirror fermion model with the following unique features of (a) right-handed neutrinos are non-sterile and have masses at the electroweak scale, and (b) a…
If physics beyond the Standard Model enters well above the electroweak scale, its low-energy effects are described by Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Already at dimension six many operators involve the antisymmetric quark tensor…
We present a simple analysis that allows us to extract the leading mass dependence of the dipole moment of matter fermions that might be induced by new physics. We present explicit results for the supersymmetric model with broken R-parity…
I give a detailed introduction into the theoretical formalism for epsilon'/epsilon, which measures direct CP-violation in K -> pi pi decays. The current status of hadronic matrix elements and the strange quark mass is discussed. Several…
The constraints of electric dipole moments (EDMs) of electron and neutron on the parameter space in supergravity (SUGRA) models with nonuniversal gaugino masses are analyzed. It is shown that with a light sparticle spectrum, the sufficient…
We show that general Minimal Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (MSSM) allow for a CP asymmetry in B --> J/psi K(S) well bellow the SM expectations with dominant Supersymmetric contributions to epsilon_K and epsilon'/epsilon.…
We analyze the CP violating ratio epsilon'/epsilon and rare K and B decays in the MSSM with minimal flavour and CP violation, including NLO QCD corrections and imposing constraints on the supersymmetric parameters coming from epsilon,…
In supersymmetric models, the well-known tension between naturalness and experimental constraints is relieved if the squarks and sleptons of the first two generations are superheavy, with masses of order 10 TeV, and all other superpartners…
The existence of neutrino mass and mixing is a strong pointer towards physics beyond the standard model. An overview of the possibility of having neutrino masses in supersymmetric theories is attempted here. Some of the recent works…
We study the effects of scalar-pseudoscalar mixing induced from quantum loop on $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in SUSY models with $\tan\beta\sim m_{t}/m_{b}$. We find that even the non-universal soft ${\cal A}^{d}$ term and Yukawa matrix, $Y^{d}$,…
For the D=5 Majorana neutrino mass operator to have a see-saw ultraviolet completion that is viable up to the Planck scale, the see-saw scale is bounded above due to triviality limits on the see-saw couplings. For supersymmetric see-saw…
The searching for the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of neutron ($d_n$), $b$ quark ($d_b$) and $c$ quark ($d_c$) gives strict upper bounds on these quantities. And recently, new upper bounds on $d_b$, $d_c$ are obtained by the strict limit…
It is well known that if phases and masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) are allowed to have general values, the resulting neutron EDM ($d_n$) exceeds the experimental upper limit by about $10^3$. We assume that the…
The generic supersymmetric standard model is a model built from a supersymmetrized standard model field spectrum the gauge symmetries only. The popular minimal supersymmetric standard model differs from the generic version in having…
We describe supersymmetry breaking by the F-term of a heavy right-handed tau neutrino with a VEV. Due to the the tau neutrino Yukawa coupling, the neutralino, chargino and scalar mass matrices and the weak currents are modified. In…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories are often thought to give large branching ratios for $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ from charged Higgs loops. We show that in many cases chargino loop contributions can cancel those of the Higgs, and SUSY can give…
Within the context of supergravity-coupled supersymmetry, fields which are gauge and global singlets are usually considered anathema. Their vacuum expectation values are shifted by quadratically divergent tadpole diagrams which are cutoff…
The recent developments in theory and experiment related to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are applied to supersymmetry. We follow a very cautious course, demanding that the supersymmetric contributions fit within five standard…
