Description
We study possible CP-violation effects of the Higgs to Z-boson coupling
at a future e^+ e^- collider, e.g. the International Linear Collider (ILC). We find that the azimuthal angular distribution of the muon pair, produced by e+ e- -> H Z -> H mu+ mu-, can be sensitive to such a CP-violation effect when we apply initial transversely polarized beams. Based on this angular distribution, we construct a CP sensitive asymmetry and obtain this asymmetry by Whizard simulation. By comparing the SM prediction with 2 range of this asymmetry, we estimate the limit of the CP-odd coupling in HZZ interaction, including as well studies from unpolarized and longitudinally-polarized beams.
