Abstract

It is pointed out that the presence in a gauge theory of vector bosons or left-over Higgs bosons with a weak interaction strength of the order of10⁻¹¹G_E and which have CPviolating couplings to the strangeness-changing neutral current, will lead to the superweak model of CP violation. An example of such a theory, based on the gauge group SU (2) ⊗U(1), is given.

Signatures of Higgs sector CP violation in top quark pair production at proton-proton supercolliders
1993, Physics Letters B
In the context of two-Higgs doublet extensions of the standard electroweak theory we investigate CP-violating effects of neutral Higgs bosons ϕ in $pp→t t X$ at LHC and SSC energies. We identify the resulting $t t$ spin-momentum correlations in the partonic production processes $gg, q q →t t$ . An interesting possibility is resonant ϕ production in gluon-gluon fusion and its subsequent decay $ϕ→t t$ which leads to a sizeable spin-spin correlation at the parton level. We propose and compute two triple product correlations with which these spin-spin correlations can be traced in the $t t$ decay products.
Vacuum alignment in multi-scalar models
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section B
A common assumption in any extension of the Higgs sector of the standard model is that the photon remains massless, which is necesarily true in the standard model with only one Higgs doublet. We analyze under which conditions this happens for extensions of the standard model with two scalar doublets, and with additional singlets or triplets, including the supersymmetric case. We find that certain extended models also have a massless photon for the whole parameter range. We also find a relation between the vacuum alignment and the appearance of spontaneous CP violation.
