ABSTRACT We derive a general expression for Delta rho (or, equivalently, for the oblique parameter T) in the SU(2) x U(1) electroweak model with an arbitrary number of scalar SU(2) doublets, with hypercharge +-1/2, and an arbitrary number of scalar SU(2) singlets. The experimental bound on Delta rho constitutes a strong constraint on the masses and mixings of the scalar particles in that model.

##### Article: Natural Multi-Higgs Model with Dark Matter and CP Violation
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We explore an extension of the Inert Doublet Model which allows also for CP violation in the Higgs sector. This necessitates two non-inert doublets. The lightest neutral scalar of the inert doublet is a candidate for dark matter. Scanning over parameters we preserve the abundance of the dark matter in agreement with the WMAP data. We also impose all relevant collider and theoretical constraints to determine the allowed parameter space for which both the dark matter is appropriate and CP is violated. In addition we find regions where the cut-off of the model originating from naturality arguments can be substantially lifted compared to its Standard Model value, reaching 2-3 TeV. Comment: 38 pages, 8 figures, LaTeX. v2: PRD version (some clarifications, two new figures)

##### Article: A soft origin for CKM-type CP violation
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a two-Higgs-doublet model, with a \$\mathbbm{Z}_3\$ symmetry, in which CP violation originates solely in a soft (dimension-2) coupling in the scalar potential, and reveals itself solely in the CKM (quark mixing) matrix. In particular, in the mass basis the Yukawa interactions of the neutral scalars are all real. The model has only eleven parameters to fit the six quark masses and the four independent CKM-matrix observables. We find regions of parameter space in which the flavour-changing neutral couplings are so suppressed that they allow the scalars to be no heavier than a few hundred GeV.

##### Article: A resource for signs and Feynman diagrams of the Standard Model
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: When performing a full calculation within the Standard Model or its extensions, it is crucial that one utilizes a consistent set of signs for the gauge couplings and gauge fields. Unfortunately, the literature is plagued with differing signs and notations. We present all Standard Model Feynman rules, including ghosts, in a convention-independent notation, and we table the conventions in close to 40 books and reviews.
