Abstract

CPCP violation may play an important role in Baryogenesis in early universe, and should be examined at colliders comprehensively. We study CPCP properties of HVVHVV vertexes between Higgs and gauge boson pairs with defining a CPCP violation phase angle ξ\xi, which indicates the mixture of CPCP-even and CPCP-odd Higgs states in HVVHVV in new physics. A series of HVVHVV amplitudes Hγγ,HγVγH\to\gamma\gamma, H\to\gamma V\to \gamma \ell\ell, and HVV4H\to VV\to 4\ell with CPCP phase angle are studied systematically, which explains explicitly why CPCP violation could only be probed in 44\ell process independently. We get a novel amplitude decomposition relation which illustrates if two preconditions (multilinear momentum dependent vertexes and current JμJ_\mu of V+V\to \ell^+ \ell^- is formally proportional to a photon's polarization vector) are satisfied, an high-point amplitude can be decomposed into a summation of a series of low-point amplitudes. As a practical example, the amplitude of HγVγH\to\gamma V\to \gamma \ell\ell, and HVV4H\to VV\to 4\ell processes can be decomposed into summation of many HγγH\to\gamma\gamma amplitudes. Meanwhile, we calculate these amplitudes in the framework of on-shell scattering amplitude method, with considering both massless and massive vector gauge bosons with CPCP violation phase angle. The above two approaches provides consistent results and exhibit clearly the CPCP violation ξ\xi dependence in the amplitudes.
