Models with an extended scalar sector may in principle provide new sources of CP violation originating in the scalar potential. One of the simplest ways to implement this idea is to have CP violation in a two-Higgs-doublet model. Here, it…
We construct the CP-odd weak basis invariants from the neutrino mass matrix in a weak basis in which the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for CP conservation. We study the…
It is shown that a two-Higgs doublet model with Vacuum CP Violation and Approximate Global $U(1)$ Family Symmetries (AGUFS) may provide one of the simplest and attractive models in understanding origin and mechanisms of CP violation at the…
The supersymmetric CP problem is studied within superstring-motivated extensions of the MSSM with an additional U(1)' gauge symmetry broken at the TeV scale. This class of models offers an attractive solution to the mu problem of the MSSM,…
We consider a particular two-Higgs-doublet model with spontaneous CP violation, where two neutral Higgses have no definite CP properties and the third one is CP-even. In this model, as the parameter $\theta$ of CP violation increases, the…
We construct a minimal viable extension of the standard model (SM) with classical scale symmetry. Its scalar sector contains a complex singlet in addition to the SM Higgs doublet. The scale-invariant and CP-symmetric Higgs potential…
The recently discovered scalar resonance at the LHC is now almost confirmed to be a Higgs Boson, whose CP properties are yet to be established. At the ILC with and without polarized beams, it may be possible to probe these properties at…
The scalar potential of the N-Higgs-doublet model (NHDM) is best analyzed not in the space of N complex doublets $\phi_a$ but in the $N^2$-dimensional space of real-valued bilinears constructed of $\phi_a^\dagger \phi_b$. In particular,…
Current experimental data on the 125 GeV Higgs boson still allow room for large CP violation. The observables usually considered in this context are triple product asymmetries, which require an input of four visible particles after imposing…
Based on the differential calculus and the gauge theory on discrete groups, we reconstruct two physics models with spontaneous CP violation: (1) The Georgi-Glashow-Lee model with two Higgs triplets; (2) The Weinberg-Salam-Branco model with…
We amalgamate the many experimental limits on the $ab\anti b$ coupling of a light CP-odd Higgs boson, $a$, including model-dependence coming from the ratio of the $at\anti t$ to the $a b\anti b$ coupling. We then employ these limits to…
We present a new form of CP violation (CPV) that can be realised in Two-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) and was studied recently in [1]. By examining the vacuum manifold of a generic (convex) 2HDM potential, we identify scenarios that exhibit…
We consider the observable effects of CP-violating anomalous $ZZh$ interaction arising from gauge invariant dimension-6 operators at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), with the purpose of distinguishing them from not only the standard model…
The Higgs sector of models beyond the standard model requires special attention and study, since through them, a natural explanation can be offered to current questions such as the big differences in the values of the masses of the quarks…
A model independent study of non-Standard Model CP-violating processes is presented with emphasis on the observability of the effects.
We study genuine CP-odd observables at the LHC to test the CP property of the ZZH interaction for a Higgs boson with mass below the threshold to a pair of gauge bosons via the process p,p -> Z,H -> l+,l-,b,bbar. We illustrate the analysis…
A minimal extension of the standard model includes extra quarks with charges 2/3 and/or -1/3, whose left-handed and right-handed components are both SU(2) singlets. This model predicts new interactions of flavor-changing neutral current at…
Within the framework of theories where both scalars and fermions are present, we develop a systematic prescription for the construction of CP-violating quantities that are invariant under basis transformations of those matter fields. In…
We discuss the importance of basis invariants in the general 2HDM and how these relates to masses and couplings. We also present a simple, yet powerful technique to translate parameters of the potential into combinations of masses and…
When new CP-violating interactions are dominated by flavor changing neutral particle exchanges, that may occur in many extensions of the standard model. We examine a type 3 two Higgs doublet model and find that direct CP asymmetries can be…
