Description

We show that in the Nelson-Barr solution to the strong CP-problem a naturally light scalar can arise. The dependence of the CKM matrix elements on this new scalar is its predominant coupling. It gives rise to a completely new phenomenology if this field constitutes dark matter, as CKM elements vary periodically in time.
