Probe CP violation in $H\to \gamma Z$ through forward-backward asymmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-29 v1

Abstract

We suggest that the forward-backward asymmetry (AFB)(A_{FB}) of the charged lepton in ggHγZγ+gg\to H\to\gamma Z\to\gamma \ell^-\ell^+ process could be used to probe the CP violating HγZH\gamma Z coupling when the interference from ggγZγ+gg\to\gamma Z\to\gamma \ell^-\ell^+ process is included. With CP violation in HγZH\gamma Z coupling, the interference effect leads to a non-vanishing AFBA_{FB}, which is also sensitive to the strong phase differences. The resonant and non-resonant strong phases together make AFB(s^)A_{FB}(\hat{s}) change sign around Higgs mass MHM_H. For phenomenology study, we suggest the integral over one-side mass region below MHM_H to magnify the AFBA_{FB} strength.
