Higgs boson CP-properties of the gluonic contributions in Higgs plus three jet production via gluon fusion at the LHC

Abstract

In high energy hadronic collisions, a general CP-violating Higgs boson $\Phi$ with accompanying jets can be efficiently produced via gluon fusion, which is mediated by heavy quark loops. In this letter we study the dominant sub-channel $ gg \to \Phi ggg$ of the gluon fusion production process with triple real emission corrections at order $\alpha_s^5$. We go beyond the heavy top limit approximation and include the full mass dependence of the top- and bottom-quark contributions. Furthermore, we show within a toy-model scenario that bottom-quark loop contributions in combination with large values of $\tan \beta$ can modify visibly the differential distributions sensitive to $\mathcal{CP}$-measurements of the Higgs boson particle.
