Spontaneous CP Violation and Scalar FCNC

Abstract

Abstract A short overview of general aspects of Spontaneous CP Violation and Scalar Flavour Changing Neutral Couplings is presented. Then, a 2HDM where CP Violation has a spontaneous origin, including the generation of a realistic CKM matrix, and which has Scalar Flavour Changing Neutral Couplings of controlled intensity, is discussed. Phenomenological consequences such as the existence of new scalars with masses below 1 TeV, or the possibility of having flavour changing processes such as t → hc or h → bs within experimental reach, are explored.
