We introduce a strategy to study the parameter space of the general, CP-conserving, two-Higgs-doublet Model (2HDM) with a softly broken Z_2-symmetry by means of a new "hybrid" basis. In this basis the input parameters are the measured…
We discuss the notion of mass, mostly for fermions, and its relation to the breaking of CP invariance, the natural symmetry of gauge interactions. In a first model, we show how compactification on a Vortex in 2 extra dimensions leads to a…
In the present paper, I have re-examined the weak basis invariants at low energies, proposed by C. Jarlskog and Branco et. al, respectively, in their earlier analyses, after confronting them with the assumptions of two zeros and an equality…
Two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) are simple extensions of the Standard Model (SM) where the scalar sector is enlarged by adding a weak doublet. As a result, the Higgs potential depends in general on several free parameters which have to be…
We discuss the three different classes of CP-symmetries that can be realized in a two-Higgs-doublet model, CP1, CP2 and CP3. We express conditions for realizing these symmetries in terms of masses and couplings of the model, thereby…
In the quark sector, Jarlskog rephasing invariant parameter $J_{CP}$ has important implications for the CP violation as well as phase structure of the quark mass matrices. In fact all CP violating effects in this sector are proportional to…
We explore the parameter regions in the complex Two Higgs Doublet Model (c2HDM) with explicit CP violation that can describe current LHC hints for one or more Higgs boson signals at 125 GeV. Such a simple extension of the Standard model has…
In this manuscript, a way solves the FCNC problem in 2HDM radically and leads to CP violation explicitly is demonstrated. The derivation starts from a most general $3 \times 3$ mass matrix $M$ containing eighteen parameters, which applies…
In this paper, we study the CP violating processes in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with tree-level flavor changing neutral currents. In this model, sizable Yukawa couplings involving top and charm quarks are still allowed by the…
The mechanism of CP violation remains one of the puzzles in particle physics. Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase space.…
We study CP-Violation (CPV) in a Composite 2-Higgs Doublet Model (C2HDM) based on the global symmetry breaking $SO(6)/[SO(4)\times SO(2)]$, wherein the strong sector is modeled by a two-site moose structure. Non-trivial complex phases in…
We provide simple examples of the generation of complex mass terms and hence CP violation through dimensional reduction.
In two-Higgs doublet models (and particularly in the MSSM) the CP-even (H) and CP-odd (A) neutral scalars are nearly degenerate in mass, and their s-channel production would lead to nearly overlapping resonances. CP-violating effects may…
The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum…
The implications of the anarchy principle on CP violation in the lepton sector are investigated. A systematic method is introduced to compute the probability density functions for the CP-violating rephasing invariants of the PMNS matrix…
In collider-based particle physics, $invariant\ mass$ refers to the magnitude of the total-momentum 4-vector of a system of particles. An expression for the invariant mass of a 2-particle system is well known; it assumes that both the total…
We use the recently developed code 2HDME to perform a 2-loop renormalization group analyzis of the CP violating Two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). Using parameter scans of several scenarios of Z2 symmetry breaking, we investigate the…
I discuss several aspects of CP non-invariance in the strongly interacting theory of quarks and gluons. I use a simple effective Lagrangian technique to map out the region of quark masses where CP symmetry is spontaneously broken. I then…
We analyze the dependence of the squared amplitudes on the rephasing-invariant CP-violating parameters of the lepton sector, involving Majorana neutrinos, for various lepton-conserving and lepton-violating processes. We analyze the…
We study the effects of CP violation in charged Higgs boson production $pp\to t H^\pm + X$ at the LHC, as well as in the charged Higgs boson decays $H^\pm \to t b$ and $H^\pm \to W^\pm H_i^0$, $i=1,2,3$. The study is done in the framework…
