We examine the CP-conserving (CPC) and CP-violating (CPV) effects of a general HZZ coupling through a study of the process H -> ZZ* -> 4 leptons at the LHC. We construct asymmetries that directly probe these couplings. Further, we present…

In many extensions of the standard model, there exist a few extra Higgs bosons. Suppose a heavy neutral Higgs boson H is discovered at the LHC, one could then investigate CP and CPT~ properties of its couplings to a pair of $Z$ bosons…

Higgs decays to Z boson pairs may be exploited to determine spin and parity of the Higgs boson, a method complementary to spin-parity measurements in Higgs-strahlung. For a Higgs mass above the on-shell ZZ decay threshold, a…
The standard-model Higgs boson couples to quarks through a parity-even scalar $Hq{\bar q}$ coupling. We show that the rare Higgs decay $H\to VZ$, where $V$ is a vector quarkonium state such as $J/\psi$ ($c{\bar c}$) or $\Upsilon(1S)$…
We introduce a class of asymmetries sensitive to the spin and CP properties of the new boson discovered by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. These asymmetries can be measured in the four-lepton final state, and are defined by integrating the…
Since decays to four leptons is widely considered a promising way to search for the Higgs particle, we show how the same final state can also be used to search for signals of CP nonconservation. Energy asymmetries and triple correlations…
Results on the $H\to\tau\tau$ measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations with the pp collision data collected at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=$7 and 8 TeV are presented. These include a test of CP invariance in the VBF Higgs boson…
