Gaugino Mass Dependence of Electron and Neutron Electric Dipole Moments

Abstract

Unless squarks and sleptons are in the multi-TeV region or above, CP violating induced electric dipole moments of elementary particles can pose significant puzzles for supersymmetric (SUSY) models. We study the dipole-moment-inducing one-loop amplitudes as a function of the fundamental SUSY parameters and show that these puzzles are removed if there is a sufficiently large hierarchy between the gaugino masses and the scalar mass. We comment on the experimental status of the low gaugino mass scenario.
