$CP$-odd form factor in the $HWW$ vertex

Abstract

We revisit the $CP$-odd form factor in the $HWW$ vertex within the Standard Model (SM), which is induced only at the one-loop level when one of the $W$ bosons is off-shell. To the best of our knowledge, the numerical evaluation of this form factor is presented for the first time. The relevant contributions from quark loops are of order $10^{-5}$, well below the current experimental sensitivity. The phenomenological implications are studied through asymmetries in unpolarized and polarized observables in three-body decays.
