On the CP-violating phase $delta_{rm CP}$ in fermion mixing matrices


Abstract in English

The recent established large $theta_{13}$ in neutrino mixing provides an optimistic possibility for the investigation of the CP violation, therefore it is necessary to study the CP-violating phase $delta_{rm CP}$ in detail. Based on the maximal CP violation hypothesis in the original Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) scheme of neutrino mixing matrix, i.e., $delta_{rm KM}=90^circ$, we calculate $delta_{rm CK}$ for both quarks and leptons in the Chau-Keung (CK) scheme of the standard parametrization and find that $delta^{mathrm{quark}}_{mathrm{CK}}=(68.62^{+0.89}_{-0.81})^circ$ and $delta^{mathrm{lepton}}_{mathrm{CK}}=(85.39^{+4.76}_{-1.82})^circ$, provided with three mixing angles to be given. We also examine the sensitivity of $|V_{ij}|$ and $|U_{ij}|$ to $delta_{rm CK}$ and $delta_{rm KM}$. As a convention-independent investigation, we discuss the $Phi$ matrix, which has elements correspond to angles of the unitarity triangles. We demonstrate the $Phi$ matrices for both quark and lepton sectors and discuss the implications as well as the variations of the $Phi$ matrix elements with $delta_{rm CP}$.
