$\boldsymbol{C\!P}\!$ violation in Higgs-gauge interactions: from tabletop experiments to the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-07-31 v2

Abstract

We investigate the interplay between the high- and low-energy phenomenology of C ⁣PC\!P-violating interactions of the Higgs boson with gauge bosons. For this purpose we use an effective field theory approach and consider all dimension-6 operators arising in so-called universal theories. We compute their loop-induced contributions to electric dipole moments and the C ⁣PC\!P asymmetry in BXsγB\to X_s\gamma, and compare the resulting current and prospective constraints to the projected sensitivity of the LHC. Low-energy measurements are shown to generally have a far stronger constraining power, which results in highly correlated allowed regions in coupling space, a distinctive pattern that could be probed at the high-luminosity LHC.
