Transmission phase α measurements [1] of many-electron quantum dots (small mean level spacing δ) revealed universal phase lapses by π between consecutive resonances. In contrast, for dots with only a few electrons (large δ), the appearance or not of a phase lapse depends on the dot parameters. We introduce a model of a multi-level quantum dot with local Coulomb correlations and arbitrary level-lead couplings [2]. Using the functional RG to tackle the two-particle interaction we reproduce the generic features of the experimentally observed behavior. The fRG results are backed up by NRG calculations.
