Abstract
We address the following question. Take the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM) with the two violating supersymmetry (SUSY) phases different from zero, and neglect the bound coming from the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron: is it possible to fully account for violation in the kaon and B systems using only the SUSY contributions with a vanishing CKM phase? We show that the constraint, though conserving, forces a negative answer to the above question. This implies that even in the regions of the CMSSM, where a cancellation of different contributions to the EDM allows for large SUSY phases, it is not possible to exploit the SUSY phases to fully account for observable violation. Hence to have sizable SUSY contributions to violation, one needs new flavor structures in the sfermion mass matrices beyond the usual CKM matrix.
