Strong and Weak Cp Violation in Technicolor
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss vacuum alignment and CP violation in technicolor theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking. I review the surprising appearance of rational phase solutions in the technifermion sector and propose a new solution of the strong CP problem of quarks. I then discuss the sources of weak CP violation, in both the CKM matrix and the suppressed extended technicolor and topcolor–assisted technicolor interactions. It is easy to reproduce the observed value of the neutral kaon CP–violating parameter ǫ from these interactions.

CP Violation and Mixing in Technicolor Models
Vacuum alignment in technicolor models provides an attractive origin for the quarks’ CP violation and, possibly, a natural solution for the strong-CP problem of QCD. We discuss these topics in this paper. Then we apply them to determine plausible mixing matrices for left and right-handed quarks. These matrices determine the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa matrix as well as new mixing angles and phases...

The results presented in Part I of this paper are extended to-include previously neglected electro-weak degrees of freedom, and are illustrated in a toy model. A problem associated with colored technifermions is identified and discussed. Some hope is offered for the disappointing quark mass matrix obtained in Part I.

متن کاملStrong Λ π Phase Shifts for CP Violation in Weak Ξ → Λ π Decay ⋆
Strong interaction Λπ phase shifts relevant for the weak nonleptonic decay Ξ → Λπ are calculated using baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find in leading order that the S-wave phase shift vanishes and the J = 1 2 P-wave phase shift is −1.7o. The small phase shifts imply that CP violation in this decay will be difficult to observe. Our results follow from chiral SU(2)L × SU(2)R symmetry. ⋆ Wo...
