Abstract
The most general MSSM Lagrangian is still described by many parameters. In particular, an arbitrary choice of parameters can lead to unacceptably large flavor changing neutral currents (“The Flavor Problem”), e.g. meson mixing and rare flavor-changing decays. Also, if large phases are present, unacceptable (either flavor conserving or violating) contributions to CP-violating amplitudes could arise (“The CP Problem”), e.g. the flavor conserving electron and neutron dipole moments.
