We first construct the dimension-6 effective operators of the type $$ -i\left({\Phi}^{\dagger}\Phi \right){\overline{F}}_L\Phi {f}_R $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mo>−</mml:mo> <mml:mi>i</mml:mi> <mml:mfenced> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>Φ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>†</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mi>Φ</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> <mml:msub> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>F</mml:mi> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mi>Φ</mml:mi> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>f</mml:mi> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:math> induced by fourth generation quarks, which carry the CP violation (CPV) source from the 4 × 4 Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, Φ ( F L , f R ) being a Higgs double (left-handed fermion doublet, right-handed fermion singlet).
