Low Energy Probes of Flavor and CP

Violation in Supersymmetric Models

Low Energy processes that are strongly suppressed in the

Standard Model - like Electric Dipole Moments or CP

Violation in D0-D0bar and Bs-Bsbar mixing - are highly

sensitive probes of the flavor and CP structure of New

Physics models. Recently there has been considerable

progress in the experimental determination of the Bs mixing

phase in particular at LHCb. I will briefly review the current

experimental status and then discuss how non-standard CP

violation in B mixing can arise in supersymmetric extensions

of the Standard Model. I will also discuss CP violation in D0-

D0bar mixing and in particular its correlation with Electric

Dipole Moments in the framework of so-called SUSY

alignment models.
