Probing the CP properties of top Yukawa coupling at an e^+e^- collider
read the original abstract
We study consequences of CP violation in the $ht\bar{t}$ Yukawa coupling through the process $e^+e^- \to$ $h(125)t\bar{t}$. The helicity amplitudes are calculated in the $t\bar{t}$ rest frame, where the initial $e^+e^-$ current and the final Higgs boson have the same three-momentum. CP-violating asymmetries appear not only in the azimuthal angle between the $e^+e^-$ plane and the $t\bar{t}$ plane about the Higgs momentum direction, but also in the correlated decay angular distributions of $t$ and $\bar{t}$. Complete description of the production and decay angular distributions are obtained analytically, including both leptonic and hadronic decays of $t$ and $\bar{t}$. We study the ultimate sensitivity to the CP-violating $ht\bar{t}$ coupling at a few center-of-mass energies. Our analysis shows that the possibility of discovering CP violating $ht\bar{t}$ coupling improves significantly by studying $t\bar{t}$ decay angular correlations, and more importantly, by increasing its energy upgrade target from $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV to 550 GeV.

Observation of a cross-section enhancement near the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS observes an excess over 8 sigma in ttbar production near threshold, consistent with NRQCD color-singlet S-wave quasi-bound states, with measured cross-section 9.3^{+1.4}_{-1.3} pb.

Model-independent probes of CP violation in the heavy scalar sector at muon colliders
Observing vector boson fusion production of a heavy scalar followed by decay to Z h1 at muon colliders can establish CP violation in the scalar sector because it requires both h2VV and h2h1Z couplings to be nonzero.

Prospects for toponium formation at the LHC in the single-lepton mode
Phenomenological analysis using NRQCD Green's functions and reweighting shows toponium signals may be detectable in single-leptonic final states with LHC Run 2 data.
