Abstract
A study of the charge conjugation and parity (CP) properties of the interaction between the Higgs boson and τ -leptons is presented. The study is based on a measurement of CP -sensitive angular observables defined by the visible decay products of τ -leptons produced in Higgs boson decays. The analysis uses 139 fb- 1of proton–proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Contributions from CP -violating interactions between the Higgs boson and τ -leptons are described by a single mixing angle parameter ϕτin the generalised Yukawa interaction. Without constraining the H→ ττ signal strength to its expected value under the Standard Model hypothesis, the mixing angle ϕτis measured to be 9∘± 16∘, with an expected value of 0∘± 28∘at the 68% confidence level. The pure CP -odd hypothesis is disfavoured at a level of 3.4 standard deviations. The results are compatible with the predictions for the Higgs boson in the Standard Model.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
