The Dine-Seiberg-Thomas model (DSTM) is the simplest version of the new physics beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), in the sense that its Higgs sector has just two dimension-five operators, which are obtained from the power series of the energy scale for the new physics in the effective action analysis. We study the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in the Higgs sector of the DSTM, which consists of two Higgs doublets. We find that the CP violation may be triggered spontaneously by a complex phase, obtained as the relative phase between the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets. At the tree level, for a reasonably established parameter region, the masses of the three neutral Higgs bosons and their corresponding coupling coefficients to a pair of $Z$ bosons in the DSTM are calculated such that the results are inconsistent with the experimental constraint by the LEP data. Thus, the LEP2 data exclude the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in the DSTM at the tree level. On the other hand, we find that, for a wide area in the parameter region, the CP symmetry may be broken spontaneously in the Higgs sector of the DSTM at the one-loop level, where top quark and scalar top quark loops are taken into account. The upper bound on the radiatively corrected mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson of the DSTM is about 87 GeV, in the spontaneous CP violation scenario. We confirm that the LEP data does not exclude this numerical result.

We study the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). It is shown that the spontaneous CP violation is induced by the radiative effects of top, stop, bottom and sbottom superfields. The available regions of parameters, which are obtained by imposing the constraints from experiments, are rather narrow. We also obtain strong constraints for light Higgs masses such as m_H le 36 GeV numerically. Sum of masses of two light neutral Higgs should set around 93 GeV and charged Higgs boson has a rather higher mass larger than 700 GeV.
We find that, at the one-loop level, the spontaneous CP violation is possible in a supersymmetric standard model that has an extra chiral Higgs triplet with hypercharge Y=0. At the tree level, this triplet-extended supersymmetric standard model (TESSM) cannot have any reasonable parameter spaces for the spontaneous CP violation, because the experimental constraints on the coupling coefficient of the neutral Higgs boson to a pair of $Z$ bosons exclude them. By contrast, at the one-loop level, we find that there are experimentally allowed parameter regions, where the spontaneous CP violation may take place. The mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in the TESSM in this case may be as large as about 100 GeV, by considering the one-loop contribution due to the top quark and squark loops.
The phenomenology of the explicit CP violation in the Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) is investigated, with emphasis on the charged Higgs boson. The radiative corrections due to both quarks and scalar-quarks of the third generation are taken into account, and the negative result of the search for the Higgs bosons at CERN LEP2, with the discovery limit of 0.1 pb, is imposed as a constraint. It is found that there are parameter regions of the NMSSM where the lightest neutral Higgs boson may even be massless, without being detected at LEP2. This implies that the LEP2 data do not contradict the existence of a massless neutral Higgs boson in the NMSSM. For the charged Higgs boson, the radiative corrections to its mass may be negative in some parameter regions of the NMSSM. The phenomenological lower bound on the radiatively corrected mass of the charged Higgs boson is increased as the CP violation becomes maximal, i.e., as the CP violating phase becomes $pi/2$. At the maximal CP violation, its lower bound is about 110 GeV for 5 $leqslant tan beta leqslant$ 40. The vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the neutral Higgs singlet is shown to be no smaller than 16 GeV for any parameter values of the NMSSM with explicit CP violation. This value of the lower limit is found to increase up to about 45 GeV as the ratio ($tan beta$) of the VEVs of the two Higgs doublets decreases to smaller values ($sim$ 2). The discovery limit of the Higgs boson search at LEP2 is found to cover about a half of the kinematically allowed part of the whole parameter space of the NMSSM, and the portion is roughly stable against the CP violating phase.
The neutral Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) with explicit CP violation is investigated at the 1-loop level, using the effective potential method; not only the loops involving the third generation of quarks and scalar quarks, but also the loops involving $W$ boson, charged Higgs boson, and chargino are taken into account. It is found that for some parameter values of the NMSSM the contributions from the $W$ boson, charged Higgs boson, and chargino loops may modify the masses of the neutral Higgs bosons and the mixings among them significantly, depending on the CP phase. In $e^+e^-$ collisions, the prospects for discovering neutral Higgs bosons are investigated within the context of the NMSSM with explicit CP violation when the dominant component of the lightest neutral Higgs boson is the Higgs singlet field of the NMSSM.
We present the invited lectures given at the Third IDPASC School which took place in Santiago de Compostela in January 2013. The students attending the school had very different backgrounds, some of them were doing their Ph.D. in experimental particle physics, others in theory. As a result, and in order to make the lectures useful for most of the students, we focused on basic topics of broad interest, avoiding the more technical aspects of Flavour Physics and CP Violation. We make a brief review of the Standard Model, paying special attention to the generation of fermion masses and mixing, as well as to CP violation. We describe some of the simplest extensions of the SM, emphasising novel flavour aspects which arise in their framework.
