As is well known, in the MSSM, there are many new sources of CP violation beyond the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa ~CKM! phase, arising from the complex soft supersymmetry ~SUSY! breaking terms, i.e., the Majorana gaugino masses M i , the trilinear scalar A terms, the bilinear scalar B terms, as well as from the m parameter which is the bilinear mixing of the two Higgs chiral superfields in the superpotential. While those supersymmetric CP violating ~CPV! phases could give large contributions to the neutron or electron elec- tric dipole moments ~EDMs!, they are strongly constrained by the current experimental measurements of the neutron or electron EDMs, which for the neutron is d n ,1.1 310 225 e cm @1# and for the electron is d e ,4.3 310 227 e cm @2#. To resolve this problem, several possibili- ties have been suggested. The first one is to make all phases small O (10 22 ) @3#. But, such small phases would require a significant amount of fine-tuning and are thus undesirable. The second is to take the SUSY spectrum heavy in the sev- eral TeV range which lies outside the reach of the accelera- tors @4#. Another option suggested recently is to use the can- cellations among the various contributions to the neutron or electron EDMs, allowing for large CPV phases and a super- symmetric spectrum that is still within the reach of the ac- celerators @5#. Finally, an interesting possibility is to take a slightly nonuniversal scenario for the trilinear couplings A f @6,7#. As shown in Ref. @7#, requiring that arg( m ) ,10 22 and A f 5(0,0,A 0 ), and assuming that gluinos are heavier than about 400 GeV @5#, one may significantly reduce the size of the neutron or electron EDMs due to Weinberg’s three-gluon operator @8# well below the current experimental limit. Another CP violation associated with the Higgs boson sector in the MSSM can come from the one-loop corrections of the MSSM Higgs potential through soft CPV Yukawa interactions involving squarks, i.e., A terms. As shown in Ref. @9#, an immediate consequence of Higgs sector CP vio- lation in the MSSM is the generation of mixing mass terms between the CP -even and CP -odd Higgs fields. Thanks to those scalar-pseudoscalar mixing mass terms, the small tree- level mass difference between the heaviest Higgs boson and the CP -odd scalar may be lifted considerably.

The effects ofCP violation on the supersymmetric electroweak correction to ther parameter are investi-gated. To avoid the EDM constraints, we require that arg(m),1022 and the nonuniversal trilinear couplingsAf5(0,0,A0) and also assume that gluinos are heavier than 400 GeV. TheCP phasef t5arg(A0) leads to a

large enhancement of the relative mass splittings betweent 2 and bL( t 1), which in turn reduces the one-loopcontribution of the top squark and bottom squark toDr. For small tanb, such aCP violating effect isprominent. We also study how much the two-loop gluon and gluino contributions are affected by theCPphase. The possible contributions to ther parameter arising from the Higgs sector withCP violation arediscussed.

serving ~CPC! MSSM. Since new CPV phases may affethe SUSY spectrum and generate additional couplings whdo not appear in the CPC MSSM, it would be quite intereing to study the effects of the CPV SUSY phases onelectroweak observables via ther parameter.

In this respect, the purpose of this Rapid Communicatis to examine how much ther parameter can be affected bthe nonvanishingCP phases in the MSSM. In this analysiwe will impose the universal conditions on the soft SUSbreaking terms which provide three complex parameters,universal gaugino massm1/2, the trilinear soft termA0, andthe bilinear soft termB0. In addition, there is a complemass parameterm. However, not all phases of the four complex parameters are physical@15#. It is always possible tomake a phase transformation on the gaugino fields so amakem1/2 real. From minimization conditions on the Higgpotential, one can make the phase ofB0 equal to the phasedifference of the two Higgs doublets in the MSSM. Asresult, there are only two independent CPV phases inMSSM with universal soft SUSY breaking terms, which ausually chosen to be arg(A0) and arg(m). To satisfy theEDM constraints, we will simply take arg(m) to be zero andthe trilinear coupling of the Higgs bosons to the squarksthe first and second generation to be much smaller thanone of the third generation, as mentioned above, and assthe gluino mass to be larger than 400 GeV. Thanks tononvanishing phase arg(A0), as will be shown later, the topsquark spectrum and their mixing angle are changed, whlead in turn to the shift of the contributions toDr. Also,since the neutral Higgs boson mass eigenstates in theMSSM are mixtures ofCP-even andCP-odd states, newgauge-Higgs couplings are induced at the tree level throthose mixings. These couplings can generate the additiradiative corrections to the gauge boson self-energies,may thus affect ther parameter. However, the contributioncoming from the gaugino and higgsino exchanges will notaffected by the nonvanishing CPV phase arg(A0) in the lead-ing order because they are affected by only the CPV pharg(m) which is neglected in this analysis. Thus, we shall nconsider those contributions. In addition, we shall study hmuch the dominant two-loop contributions via gluon agluino exchanges can be shifted by the effect of the Cphases. The numerical calculation will be done with the hof the program packageFEYNHIGGS @16# which is modifiedso as to calculate the CPV SUSY contributions to therparameter.

(b) Higgs sector contributions. There are also possiblcontributions arising from the Higgs sector to ther param-eter. In the CPC case, it is known@12# that the Higgs bosonmasses and couplings to gauge bosons are related in sway that they lead to large cancellations in their contribtions to ther parameter, which is at most of order of 1024.In the decoupling limit where the heavy neutralCP-evenHiggs, CP-odd Higgs, and the charged Higgs bosonsnearly degenerate and their couplings to gauge bosonsto zero, the lightestCP-even Higgs boson reaches its maxmal mass value and has almost the same properties aSM Higgs boson. Then, the contribution of the Higgs secof the MSSM to ther parameter is practically the same asthe SM. However, while the contribution of the SM Higgsector gives rise to logarithmic logMh /MZ in the limit oflarge Higgs mass which may reach about 1023 order, theMSSM contribution reaches at most 1024 due to the upperbound on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson.

Now, let us take into account the contributions comifrom the neutral Higgs sector withCP violation. The decom-

lar to the one-loop contribution of top squark toDr, theone-loop contribution of the Higgs sector is decreased wthe increasing phasef t . This is mainly because the relativmass splittings among three neutral Higgs bosons decras the phasef t increases as shown in Fig. 4. In the casesmall tanb, uM3

For large tanb, the Higgs sectorcontribution toDr is negligibly small.

In summary, effects ofCP violation on the supersymmetric electroweak correction to ther parameter have been investigated. To avoid the EDM constraints, we have requinegligibly small arg(m) and the nonuniversal couplingsAf5(0,0,A0) and also assumed that the mass of gluino is larthan 400 GeV. TheCP phasef t leads to large enhancemeof the relative mass splittings betweent 2 and bL( t 1), whichin turn reduces the one-loop contribution of the top squand bottom squark to ther parameter. For small tanb, sucha CP violating effect is prominent. We have also studiehow much the two-loop gluon and gluino contributions aaffected by theCP phase. Possible contributions to therparameter arising from the Higgs sector withCP violationhave been discussed.
