Enhancing $CP$ Measurement of the Yukawa Interactions of Top-Quark at $e^{-}{e}^{+}$ Collider

Abstract

It is well known that $CP$-violating coupling of the Yukawa interaction of top-quark is a promising candidate of a new source of $CP$ violation effect. Precisely measurement of its $CP$ properties is crucial for understanding new physics above the electroweak scale. In this paper, we introduce a complete analysis method for probing $CP$ violation effects in the associated production of top-quark pair and Higgs boson at $e^{-}{e}^{+}$ collider. Reconstructions of the top-quarks are not needed in our strategy. The observables are defined based on spin correlation effects of the leptons emerging from decays of top-quarks, and their formal expressions are universal at any reference frames. Two reference frames, the rest frame of the top-quark pair and the rest frame of Higgs boson, are examined. Importantly, large enhancement effects for both $CP$-odd and $CP$-even observables are observed in the rest frame of Higgs boson. This can be essential for probing $CP$ violation effects at future $e^{-}{e}^{+}$ collider.
