Anomalous couplings in the Higgs-strahlung process

The angular distributions in the Higgs-strahlung process $e^+e^-\to HZ\to H\bar f f$ are uniquely determined in the Standard Model. We study how these predictions are modified if non-standard couplings are present in the $ZZH$ vertex, as well as lepton-boson contact terms. We restrict ourselves to the set of operators which are singlets under standard $SU_3\times SU_2\times U_1$ transformations, CP conserving, dimension 6, helicity conserving, and custodial $SU_2$ conserving.
