Gustavo Branco (CFTP-IST, Univ. de Lisboa, Portugal) – "Multi-Higgs Models, The Flavor Problem and the Origin of CP Violation"

We analyse two-Higgs-Doublet extensions of the Standard Model, paying special attention
to novel mechanisms for natural suppression of scalar Flavor-Changing-Neutral-Currents
and their imllementation in specific models. Some of the most salient implications of these models will be presented. The possibility of having realistic models of spontaneous CP violation will be studied.
