Large Phases and CP Violation in SUSY

Abstract

A brief overview is given of recent developments in the analyses of large phases and CP violation in supersymmetric unified models. The problem of experimental electric dipole moment constraints and large phases is discussed. Implications of large phases on supersymmetric phenomena are reviewed. The possibility of generating a muon electric dipole moment much larger than implied by the scaling relation $d_{\mu }/d_e\simeq m_{\mu }/m_e$ from lepton flavor nonuniversality and within reach of the recently proposed Brookhaven experiment for a sensitive probe of $d_{\mu }$ is also discussed.
