Spontaneous Cp Violation: Alternative to the Standard Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a model of soft CP violation that evades the strong CP problem and can describe observed CP violation in the neutral kaon sector, both direct and indirect. Our model requires two “duark” mesons carrying quark number two that have complex (CP-violating) bare masses and are coupled to quark pairs. Aside from the existence of these potentially observable new particles with masses of several hundred GeV, we predict a flat unitarity triangle (i.e., no observable direct CP violation in the B-meson sector) and a possibly anomalous branching ratio for the decay mode K → π + ν̄ ν.

Aspects of Soft and Spontaneous CP Violation
We study four different models for CP violation: the standard (KM) model, the aspon model of spontaneous breaking and two models of soft breaking. In all except the standard model, the strong CP problem is addressed and solved. Testable predictions for the area of the unitarity triangle and for (ǫ ′ /ǫ)K are emphasized. The issue of CP violation may well become the first place where the standar...

متن کاملSpontaneous CP Violation in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Revisited
We re-examine spontaneous CP violation at the tree level in the context of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) with two Higgs doublets and a gauge singlet field. We analyse the most general Higgs potential without a discrete Z3 symmetry, and derive an upper bound on the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson consistent with present experimental data. We investigate, in p...
متن کاملCabibbo Mixing and the Search for CP Violation
We examine certain extensions of the standard model in which CP violation is spontaneous and the strong CP problem is resolved. In these models, the 3 × 3 quark mixing matrix is neither real nor unitary. However, to a precision of 0.1%, it is real and orthogonal. There are no readily observable CP -violating effects besides those in the neutral kaon system. Typeset using REVTEX 1 The Standard M...
متن کاملSpontaneous Cp Violation and the B 0 System
We investigate effects of spontaneous breakdown of CP in B d,s−Bd,s systems in leftright symmetric models. Assuming that the left-right contribution to the B0−B0 matrix element M12 can be at most equal to the standard model one we obtain a new lower bound, MH >∼ 12 TeV, on the flavour changing Higgs boson mass. Most importantly, the convention independent parameter Re(ǫB), which measures the am...
