Abstract

We propose a new dihedral angle observable to measure the CP property of the interaction of top quark and Higgs boson in the ttˉHt\bar{t}H production at the 14~TeV LHC. We consider two decay modes of the Higgs boson, HbbˉH\to b\bar{b} and HγγH\to \gamma\gamma and show that the dihedral angle distribution is able to distinguish the CP-even and the CP-odd hypothesis at 95\% confidence level with an integrated luminosity of 180 fb1\sim 180~{\rm fb}^{-1}.
