Description

We study leptonic CP-violation within a single fermion generation in an extended electroweak model where new right-handed leptons, so-called mirror leptons, exist and mix with standard left-handed leptons. Essential differences are pointed out between the mixing of a left-handed neutrino with a mirror neutrino in such a model and the ordinary mixing of two left-handed neutrinos in the standard model. E.g. in the mirror case CP-violation may occur even if neutrinos are Dirac particles. The number of physical CP-violation phases is determined for different mixing schemes and parameterizations of the leptonic weak currents in terms of these phases are presented. (orig.)
