Title: "CP violation beyond the standard model at low energies and the LHC"
CP-violating beyond the standard model (BSM) physics in principle affects
both low-energy precision experiments and the processes measured at the
LHC. This talk will consider some of the possible effects of BSM physics in
the two types of searches, focusing on B-meson mixing observables studied
at LHCb and electric dipole moments (EDMs). Given the rather different
processes involved in both experiments, the two searches tend to be
sensitive to different BSM interactions, making them complementary to one
another. Nevertheless, in certain models of BSM physics the two types of
observables can become related to each other. Examples of the interplay
between EDMs and B-meson mixing will be considered in both an
effective-field-theory approach and a specific model of BSM physics,
namely, the left-right model.
