| contents | Imposing CP or P forces the QCD topological angle to be either $\barθ=0$ or $\barθ=π$. However, only the former is phenomenologically viable. This implies that the assumption of CP or P alone cannot provide a framework for unambiguously solving the Strong CP problem. We show that $\barθ=0$ is naturally selected when the assumption of CP is combined with the hypothesis that the Standard Model is embedded in a suitable gauge group. |
