Strong CP: No Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Detailed analysis shows that the phase of a complex mass term of a quark does not violate CP, while the QCD vacuum angle can naturally be set equal to zero. There is no strong CP problem and no need for axions or similar speculative constructions to be experimentally looked for. Talk given at THEP-I, IIT Roorkee, March 2005

On the Analog Strong Cp Problem in the Cp N −1 Models A
Non-perturbative effects can introduce CP violation into the strong interactions. Since no such violations of this discrete symmetry have been observed, an avoidance mechanism must be operative. Although many proposals have been suggested to resolve this issue, the strong CP problem remains one of the outstanding low-energy mysteries of the standard model of particle physics. A four-dimensional...
متن کاملReflections on the Strong CP Problem
I discuss how anomalies affect classical symmetries and how, in turn, the non-trivial nature of the gauge theory vacuum makes these quantum corrections troublesome. Although no solution seems in sight for the cosmological constant problem, I examine three possible approaches to the strong CP problem involving vacuum dynamics, an additional chiral symmetry, and the possibility of spontaneous CP ...
متن کاملThe Strong Cp Problem, String Theory and the Nelson-barr Mechanism
We review recent work on the strong CP problem in the context of realistic stringinspired models. We discuss the various solutions, review the conjecture that CP is generally a gauged discrete symmetry in string theory and then consider models of the Nelson-Barr type. We note that squark non-degeneracy spoils the NelsonBarr structure at the one loop level. We stress that string theory expectati...
متن کاملSolution to the strong CP problem: Supersymmetry with parity.
We find that supersymmetry with parity can solve the strong CP problem in many cases including the interesting cases of having the minimal supersymmetric standard model or some of its extensions below the Planck/GUT/intermediate scales, as well as for the case where we have a low-energy SUSY left-right model. The smallest dimensionless parameter in the standard model is the strong CP phase, θ̄ =...
متن کاملResolution of the Strong CP Problem
It is shown that the quark mass aligns QCD θ vacuum in such a way that the strong CP is conserved, resolving the strong CP problem. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is well established as the fundamental theory for the strong interactions. However, there has been a persistent puzzle with QCD, namely the smallness of the strong CP violation. The most general QCD Lagrangian is given in the form:
