Abstract

Measuring charge-parity (CP) violation in Higgs-fermion interactions is a key target of future precision Higgs programs. The decay HττH\to\tau\tau is particularly sensitive to the CP structure of the Higgs Yukawa coupling via τ\tau spin correlation, while the clean environment of e+ee^+e^- collisions at the Future Circular Collider (FCC) enables accurate reconstruction of CP-sensitive observables. In this letter, we study the sensitivity of FCC-ee to the Higgs CP state using HττH\to\tau\tau events produced in associated ZHZH production at s=240\sqrt{s}=240 GeV. In the anomalous-coupling parametrization, we project a precision of Δϕττ=±2.5\Delta\phi_{\tau\tau}=\pm 2.5^\circ at 68 % CL, with the dominant contribution arising from one-prong hadronic τ\tau decays. We further interpret the analysis in the Effective Field Theory framework, deriving expected limits on the CP-odd operators, and compare them with electron and magnetic dipole moment measurements and the anomalous-coupling approach.
