Abstract

With the current precision of measurements by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, it cannot be excluded that a SM-like Higgs boson is a CP violating mixture of CP-even and CP-odd states. We explore this possibility here, assuming Higgs boson production in ZZ-fusion, at 1 TeV ILC, with unpolarized beams. The full simulation of SM background and fast simulation of the signal is performed, simulating 8 ab1^{-1} of data collected with the ILD detector. We demonstrate that the CP mixing angle ΨCP\Psi_{\mathrm{CP}} between scalar and pseudoscalar states can be measured with the statistical uncertainty of 3.8 mrad at 68% CL, corresponding to 1.44 105\cdot 10^{-5} for the CP parameter fCPf_\mathrm{CP}, for the pure scalar state. This is the first result on sensitivity of an e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider to measure fCPf_\mathrm{CP} in the Higgs production vertex in vector boson fusion.
