We study CP-violating effects in B→ψKs decay within minimal supersymmetric models with spontaneous CP violation. We find that the CP asymmetry predicted by the Standard Model in this decay, sin 2β≥0.4, cannot be accommodated in these models without violating the bound on the neutron electric dipole moment. This result holds for NMSSM-like models with an arbitrary number of sterile superfields. Further implications of the scenario are discussed.

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.

For the neutron to have an electric dipole moment (EDM), the theory of nature must have T, or equivalently CP, violation. Neutron EDM is a very good probe of novel CP violation in beyond the standard model physics. To leverage the connection between measured neutron EDM and novel mechanism of CP violation, one requires the calculation of matrix elements for CP violating operators, for which lattice QCD provides a first principle method. In this paper, we review the status of recent lattice QCD calculations of the contributions of the QCD Θ-term, the quark EDM term, and the quark chromo-EDM term to the neutron EDM.

Since CP violation in weak decays is successfully described by the KM mechanism, the strong CP problem cannot be easily accommodated. This leads us to reconsider the issue. If the axion and massless up quark are abandoned, we must extend the standard model. Extension to SU (3)3 × S3 unification leads to the following situation: if CP is a high-energy symmetry and the appropriate symmetry-breaking hierarchy of scales is in place, then the [Formula: see text] parameter of the QCD sub-theory is guaranteed to be sufficiently small. We find [Formula: see text] while the empirical limit from the neutron electric dipole moment requires only that [Formula: see text].

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 investigate a CP violating observable, the μ-polarization, in η → μ+μ− in several models with the standard gauge group. The CP violating parameters are constrained by the experimental upper bound on the neutron electric dipole moment. Among the models considered here, it was found that those with leptoquark scalars dominate the contributions to μ-polarization in η → μ+μ−. μ-polarization can be of order 10−3.
