Abstract
We reanalyze the two- and three-scalar (Higgs) doublet models with spontaneous CP violation. We show that the two-Higgs doublet model of T.D. Lee can be made consistent with the recent measurements of ε′/ε provided the ΔS = 2 amplitudes receive important contributions from neutral Higgs exchanges. The sign of ε′/ε is positive in this model. The main part of our paper constitutes a new calculation of CP violation in the three-Higgs doublet model with natural flavor conservation. We find in contrast to previous analyses that this model is consistent with the experimental value of ε′/ε provided an interesting hierarchy among the vacuum expectation values present in the model is assumed. ε′/ε can have both signs in this model and is typically ±0.005. Simultaneously ΔM(K1 − Ks), the ε-parameter and the electric dipole moment of the neutron are consistent with the experimental data.
