Abstract
The effects of CP violation on the supersymmetric electroweak correction to the ρ parameter are investigated. To avoid the EDM constraints, we require that arg(μ)<10-2 and the nonuniversal trilinear couplings Af=(0,0,A0) and also assume that gluinos are heavier than 400 GeV. The CP phase φt=arg(A0) leads to a large enhancement of the relative mass splittings between t̃2 and b̃L(t̃1), which in turn reduces the one-loop contribution of the top squark and bottom squark to Δρ. For small tan β, such a CP violating effect is prominent. We also study how much the two-loop gluon and gluino contributions are affected by the CP phase. The possible contributions to the ρ parameter arising from the Higgs sector with CP violation are discussed.
