After some recollection of the implications that top quark and Higgs boson properties determination have had on each other, we discuss recent and future expected progress in the study of the top-Higgs sector. In particular we discuss some…
We propose a new observable designed to probe CP-violating coupling of the Higgs boson to W bosons using associated Higgs production. We define an asymmetry that measures the number of leptons from W decays relative to the plane defined by…
One of the main endeavors at future high-energy colliders is the search for the Higgs boson(s) and, once found, the probe of the fundamental properties. In particular, the charge conjugation and parity (CP) quantum numbers have to be…
The supersymmetric extension of the standard model contains an intrinsic sourceof CP violation mediated by the charginos. As an effect, both CP-even and CP-odd final states could be observed in the Higgs boson decay into two photons whose…
We investigate the possibility of detecting CP--odd angular correlations in the various decay modes of the neutral Higgs boson including the modes of a $ZZ$ pair, a $W^+W^-$ pair, or a heavy quark pair. It is a natural way to probe the CP…
We study the energy correlation of charged leptons produced in the decay of a heavy Higgs particle $H\to t\bar t\to bl^+\nu_l\bar bl^-\bar{\nu}_l$ and $H\to W^+W^-\to l^+\nu_ll^-\bar{\nu}_l.$ The possible influence of $CP$--violation in the…
The recently discovered scalar resonance at the LHC is now almost confirmed to be a Higgs Boson, whose CP properties are yet to be established. At the ILC with and without polarized beams, it may be possible to probe these properties at…
We present a model-independent study of the effects of a neutral Higgs boson without definite CP-parity in the process $\gamma\gamma \to t\bar{t}$ around the mass pole of the Higgs boson. Near the resonance pole, the interference between…
Now that the Higgs particle has been observed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, the next endeavour would be to probe its fundamental properties and to measure its couplings to fermions and gauge bosons with the highest possible…
Extra Higgs states appear in various scenarios beyond the current Standard Model of elementary particles. If discovered at the LHC or future colliders, the question will arise whether CP is violated or conserved in the extended scalar…
We investigate a potentially large CP violating asymmetry in the neutral Higgs boson decay into a heavy quark pair or a $W^+$--$W^-$ pair. The source of the CP nonconservation is in the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson which can contain…
We investigate the implications of spontaneous CP-violation in the general two Higgs doublet model, which leads to a non-decoupling structure of the Higgs sector. All the masses of the Higgs bosons are purely determined by the vacuum…
Null results from searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tend to enforce the belief that new particles must be much heavier than the weak scale. We undertake a systematic study of the interplay between Higgs alignment…
The CP nature of the Higgs coupling to top quarks is addressed in this paper, in single charged lepton final states of $t\bar{t}h$ events produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Pure scalar ($h=H$) and pseudo-scalar ($h=A$) Higgs…
The precise determination of the Higgs boson CP properties is among the most important goals for existing and future colliders. In this work, we evaluate existing constraints on the CP nature of the Higgs interaction with top quarks taking…
We propose a method for determining the CP nature of a neutral Higgs boson or spin-zero resonance $\phi$ at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in its $\phi\to\tau^{-}\tau^{+}$ decay channel. The method can be applied to any 1-prong…
We consider the Higgs boson decay processes and its production and provide a parameterisation tailored for testing models of new physics. The choice of a particular parameterisation depends on a non-obvious balance of quantity and quality…
The determination of the CP nature of the Higgs coupling to top quarks is addressed in this paper, using $t{\bar t} h$ events produced in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Dileptonic final states are employed, with…
In the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is a CP even state with CP conserving couplings; any deviations from this would be a sign of new physics. These CP properties can be probed by measuring Higgs decays to tau lepton pairs: the transverse…
The sensitivity of various angular and energy distributions to the CP of a Higgs candidate are considered for the process $e^-e^- -> e^-e^-h$, where h is either a scalar or a pseudoscalar Higgs. This process may differ from the…
