Most studies of Higgs sector CP violation focus on the detection of CP-violating neutral Higgs-fermion Yukawa couplings, which yield P-odd, CP-violating phenomena. There is some literature on purely bosonic signatures of Higgs sector CP…
We discuss in detail signals for CP violation in the Higgs boson and tau-slepton sectors through the production processes $\mu^+\mu^- \to \tilde{\tau}_i^- \tilde{\tau}_j^+$, where $i,j=1,2$ label the two $\tau$ slepton mass eigenstates in…
