$\boldsymbol{C\!P}\!$ violation in Higgs-gauge interactions: from tabletop experiments to the LHC

Understand

We investigate the interplay between the high- and low-energy phenomenology of $C\!P$-violating interactions of the Higgs boson with gauge bosons.

• For this purpose we use an effective field theory approach and consider all dimension-6 operators arising in so-called universal theories.
• We compute their loop-induced contributions to electric dipole moments and the $C\!P$ asymmetry in $B\to X_s\gamma$, and compare the resulting current and prospective constraints to the projected sensitivity of the LHC.
• Low-energy measurements are shown to generally have a far stronger constraining power, which results in highly correlated allowed regions in coupling space, a distinctive pattern that could be probed at the high-luminosity LHC.
