Non-minimal Flavor Violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

The MSSM possesses many new sources of flavor violation. In addition to the minimally flavor-violating interactions involving the CKM matrix there are terms which have a priori a generic flavor structure (including possible complex phases) stemming from the supersymmetry-breaking sector.
In this thesis, we study the effects of these non-minimal sources of flavour violation, especially the trilinear A-terms, which have an important effect on flavor-violating observables.
