What tell us LHC data about Higgs boson parity

Abstract

Recently CMS and ATLAS announced that they had measured the Higgs boson parity. Here we note that their approach can determine this parity only under the additional assumption that this particle has a definite parity. If parity conservation is violated in the Higgs sector, the parity of observed "Higgs" boson does not exist. The approach used in the mentioned experiments does not allow to observe such opportunity. In this sense titles of mentioned CMS and ATLAS publications are misleading.
