Dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD is a potential source of CP violation in the flavor diagonal Higgs sector of the standard model and can lead to a neutron electric dipole moment of the size reported in recent experiments, provided the mass of the Higgs is constrained by m H ≲42 GeV .

We study the CP violating effects in the decay of η → π+π- γ. We show that to have CP violation in the decay, one has to consider both linear and circular photon polarizations. In the standard model, the polarizations are vanishingly small. However, model independently, i.e. using only experimental constraint imposed by the limit on Br (η → π+ π-), it can be up to O(10%). We also explore various possible operators and we find that the tensor type operator, possibly arising from a nonzero CP violating electric dipole moment of the strange quark, can induce a sizable linear photon polarization.

We review the present status of the 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 CP phases and show that only the scenarios with flavour-off-diagonal CP violation remain attractive. These scenarios require Hermitian Yukawa matrices which naturally arise in models with left–right symmetry or a SU(3) flavour symmetry. In this case, εK and ε′/ε can be saturated by a small non-universality of the soft scalar masses through the gluino and chargino contributions respectively. The model also predicts a strong correlation between A CP (b → sγ) and the neutron electric dipole moment. In this framework, the standard model gives a the leading contribution to the CP asymmetry in B → ψKS decay, while the dominant chargino contribution to this asymmetry is < 0.2. Thus, no constraint is set on the non-universality of this model by the recent BaBar and Belle measurements.
