Solving the strong CP problem with non-conventional CP
read the original abstract
A very simple model is presented where all CP violation in Nature is spontaneous in origin. The CKM phase is generated unsuppressed and the strong CP problem is solved with only moderately small couplings between the SM and the CP violation sector or mediator sector because corrections to $\bar{\theta}$ arise only at two loops. The latter feature follows from an underlying unconventional CP symmetry of order 4 imposed in the sectors beyond the SM composed of only two vector-like quarks of charge $-1/3$ and one complex scalar singlet. No additional symmetry is necessary to implement the Nelson-Barr mechanism.

Nelson-Barr Models with Vector-Like Quark Doublets
Nelson-Barr models with vector-like quark doublets suppress hadronic CP violation to three loops via an accidental symmetry in the renormalizable theory, yielding phenomenologically viable solutions distinct from sing...
