Spontaneous CP violation and Higgs spectrum in a Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Model

Abstract

We explore the possibility of spontaneous CP violation within the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the most general form of the model, without a discrete $Z_3$ symmetry, we find that even at tree level spontaneous CP violation can occur, while also permitting Higgs masses consistent with experiment.
