The effect of supersymmetric CP phases on Chargino-Pair Production via Drell-Yan Process at the LHC
We compute the rates for pp annihilation into chargino-pairs via Drell-Yan
process taking into account the effects of supersymmetric soft phases, at
proton-proton collider. In particular, the phase of the mu parameter gains
direct accessibility via the production of dissimilar charginos. The phases of
the trilinear soft masses do not have a significant effect on the cross
sections.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figure
Relaxation of the Dynamical Gluino Phase and Unambiguous Electric Dipole Moments
We propose a new axionic solution of the strong CP problem with a
Peccei-Quinn mechanism using the gluino rather than quarks. The spontaneous
breaking of this new global U(1) at 10^{11} GeV also generates the
supersymmetry breaking scale of 1 TeV (solving the so-called \mu problem at the
same time) and results in the MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model) with
R parity conservation. In this framework, electric dipole moments become
calculable without ambiguity.Comment: Typos corrected and a footnote added, 10 p
Probing scalar-pseudoscalar mixing in the CP violating MSSM at high-energy colliders
We study the production processes , and
in the context of the CP violating MSSM. In a given
channel we show that the cross-section for all i (=1,2,3) can be above 0.1 fb
provided M_{H_{2,3}}\la 300 GeV. This should be detectable at a Next Linear
Collider and would provide evidence for scalar-pseudoscalar mixing.Comment: 17 pages, RevTex, 4 ps figures, figure 4 changed, minor modifications

CP-odd A^0 production at e^+e^- colliders in MSSM with CP violating phases
We study the production of a heavy CP-odd boson in association with a
photon and a Z boson as well as the
single production of via in the MSSM
with CP violating phases. In the case of , we show
that the squark contribution, which vanishes in the MSSM with real parameters,
turns out to be sizeable in presence of CP violating phases in the soft SUSY
parameters. For in both the 2HDM and MSSM
with real parameters, the cross section does not reach observable rates at a
NLC. It is found that with a large CP violating phase for , cross sections
of the order 0.1 fb are attainable for all the processes ,
and .Comment: 12 pages, latex, 7 eps figures. One new figure, new discussion arroud

Invisible Higgs and Scalar Dark Matter
In this proceeding, we show that when we combined WMAP and the most recent
results of XENON100, the invisible width of the Higgs to scalar dark matter is
negligible(<10%), except in a small region with very light dark matter (< 10
GeV) not yet excluded by XENON100 or around 60 GeV where the ratio can reach
50% to 60%. The new results released by the Higgs searches of ATLAS and CMS set
very strong limits on the elastic scattering cross section.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, proceeding TAUP2011 References adde
Two-Higgs doublet models from TeV-scale supersymmetric extra U(1) models
We investigate the reduction of a general TeV-scale supersymmetric extra U(1)
model to a 2HDM below the TeV- scale through the tree level non-decoupling.
Portions of the parameter space of the extra U(1) model appropriate for
obtaining a 2HDM are identified. Various properties of the resulting 2HDM are
connected to the parameter space of the underlying model. PACS: 12.60.Jv,

Decays of the MSSM Higgs Bosons with Explicit CP Violation
We study Higgs boson decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model
where the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken
by loop effects of soft CP-violating Yukawa interactions related to scalar
quarks of the third generation. The scalar-pseudoscalar mixing among two
neutral CP-even Higgs bosons and one CP-odd Higgs boson due to explicit CP
violation modifies their tree-level couplings to fermions, to the W^\pm and Z
bosons and to Higgs bosons themselves significantly. We analyze the
phenomenological impact of explicit CP violation on the branching ratios of the
neutral Higgs boson decays in detail and discuss how to directly confirm the
existence of explicit CP violation through \tau^+ \tau^- and t \bar{t} spin
correlations in the decays of the neutral Higgs bosons into a tau-lepton pair
and a top-quark pair.Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures, some references added and correcte
Flavour-Conserving CP Phases in Supersymmetry and Implications for Exclusive B Decays
We study rare exclusive B decays based on the quark-level transition
b->s(d)l^+l^-, where l=e or mu, in the context of supersymmetric theories with
minimal flavour violation. We present analytic expressions for various mixing
matrices in the presence of new CP-violating phases, and examine their impact
on observables involving B and \bar{B} decays. An estimate is obtained for
CP-violating asymmetries in B->K^(*)l^+l^- and B->rho(pi)l^+l^- decays for the
dilepton invariant mass region 1.2 GeV < M_{l^+l^-}< M_{J/psi}. As a typical
result, we find a CP-violating partial width asymmetry of about -6% (-5%) in
the case of B->pi (B->rho) in effective supersymmetry with phases of O(1),
taking into account the measurement of the inclusive b->s gamma branching
fraction. On the other hand, CP asymmetries of less than 1% are predicted in
the case of B->K^(*). We argue that it is not sufficient to have additional CP
phases of O(1) to observe large CP-violating effects in exclusive b->s(d)l^+l^-
decays.Comment: 34 pages, REVTeX, 6 figures, final version to appear in Phys. Rev. D,

B -> X_s gamma in Supersymmetry with Explicit CP Violation
We discuss B -> X_s gamma decay in both constrained and unconstrained
supersymmetric models with explicit CP violation within the minimal flavor
violation scheme by including tan(beta) -enhanced large contributions beyond
the leading order. In this analysis, we take into account the relevant
cosmological and collider bounds, as well as electric dipole moment
constraints. In the unconstrained model, there are portions of the parameter
space yielding a large CP asymmetry at leading order (LO). In these regions, we
find that the CP phases satisfy certain sum rules, e.g., the sum of the phases
of the \mu parameter and the stop trilinear coupling centralize around \pi with
a width determined by the experimental bounds. In addition, at large values of
tan(beta), the sign of the CP asymmetry tracks the sign of the gluino mass, and
the CP asymmetry is significantly larger than the LO prediction. In the
constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model based on minimal
supergravity, we find that the decay rate is sensitive to the phase of the
universal trilinear coupling. This sensitivity decreases at large values of the
universal gauino mass. We also show that for a given set of the mass
parameters, there exists a threshold value of the phase of the universal
trilinear coupling which grows with tan(beta) and beyond which the experimental
bounds are satisfied. In both supersymmetric scenarios, the allowed ranges of
the CP phases are wide enough to have phenomenological consequences.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures. Added references, made minor changes in the

MSSM Higgs-Boson Production at Hadron Colliders with Explicit CP Violation
Gluon fusion is the main production mechanism for Higgs bosons with masses up
to several hundred GeV in collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We
investigate the effects of the CP-violating phases on the fusion process
including both the sfermion-loop contributions and the one-loop induced
CP-violating scalar-pseudoscalar mixing in the minimal supersymmetric standard
model. With a universal trilinear parameter assumed, every physical observable
involves only the sum of the phases of the universal trilinear parameter
and the higgsino mass parameter . The phase affects the lightest
Higgs-boson production rate significantly through the neutral Higgs-boson
mixing and, for the masses around the lightest stop-pair threshold, it also
changes the production rate of the heavy Higgs bosons significantly through
both the stop and sbottom loops and the neutral Higgs-boson mixing.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures. Some references and comments added. Typos
