CP Violation from the Neutrino Sector: A Case for the Superweak Model

Abstract

We discuss how CP violation originating in the right-handed neutrino sector can feed into the quark sector, in an otherwise CP invariant theory. The dominant effects are superweak, and we suggest that this may yield a natural resolution of the strong CP problem. This work builds on and extends a previously proposed model of quark and lepton masses, based on a new strong flavor interaction above the weak scale.
