Electric dipole moments from Yukawa phases in supersymmetric theories
Abstract
We study quark and electron EDMs generated by Yukawa couplings in supersymmetric models with different gauge groups, using the EDM properties under flavour transformations. In the MSSM (or if soft terms are mediated below the unification scale) the one loop contributions to the neutron EDM are smaller than in previous computations based on numerical methods, although increasing as tan3β. A neutron EDM close to the experimental limits can be generated in SU(5), if tanβ is large, through the u-quark EDM du, proportional to tan4β. This effect has to be taken into account also in SO(10) with large tanβ, where du is comparable to the d-quark EDM, proportional to tanβ.
