The SUSY CP problem and the MFV principle

We address the SUSY CP problem in the framework of Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV), where the SUSY flavor problem finds a natural solution. By contrast, the MFV principle does not solve the SUSY CP problem as it allows for the presence of new flavor blind CP-violating phases. Then, we generalize the MFV ansatz accounting for a natural Solution of it. The phenomenological implications of the generalized MFV ansatz are explored for MFV scenarios defined both at the electroweak (EW) and at the GUT scales. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
