CPconserving constraints on supersymmetricCPviolation in the MSSM

Abstract
We address the following question. Take the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM) with the two CP 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 CP violation in the kaon and B systems using only the SUSY contributions with a vanishing CKM phase? We show that the BR(BXsγ) constraint, though CP 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 CP violation. Hence to have sizable SUSY contributions to CP violation, one needs new flavor structures in the sfermion mass matrices beyond the usual CKM matrix.
