Higgs up-downCPasymmetry at the LHC

Abstract: We propose a new observable designed to probe CP-violating coupling of the Higgs boson to W bosons using associated Higgs production. We define an asymmetry that measures the number of leptons from W decays relative to the plane defined by the beam line and the Higgs boson momentum. The orientation of that plane is determined by the direction of fermions in the initial state, so that in a proton-proton collider it requires rapidity cuts that preferentially select quarks over antiquarks.

“…Another option to get sensitivity to C P-violation effects may rely on the usage of phase-space correlations, which may become feasible as more data is being recorded by the experiments. A variety of decay modes could be considered [15]. For instance, the diphoton h → γ γ channel could be promising provided that the photon polarization, a quantity directly related to C P violation, could be measured.…”

“…Most studies, however, assume that the new physics contributions to the Higgs-boson couplings feature a C P-even structure, in particular when existing constraints on the effective operators are evaluated [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In comparison, the investigation of the effects of the C P-odd Higgs-boson effective operators has been relatively sparse [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], although some experimental analyses are available, e.g. [20,21].…”
