Abstract

Due to the large mass of top quark, CP violation in the top-quark decay is sensitive to the interactions mediated by Higgs bosons. We consider CP violation in tW+bt\rightarrow W^+ b decay by calculating consistently in unitary gauge the CP-violating up-down asymmetry of the leptons from WW boson decays in tW+bt\rightarrow W^+ b, defined by Grz\c{a}dkowski and Gunion, in the two-Higgs doublet model with CP-violating neutral sector. The asymmetry is shown to be at most of the order of (13)×104(1-3)\times 10^{-4} for tanβ=1.0\tan\beta=1.0, where tanβ\tan\beta is the ratio of vacuum expectation values for the two neutral Higgs bosons.
