ECFA meeting on e+e- to ZH angular measurements

Europe/Zurich

Introduction (Chris)
--------------------
- Andrei: HZy and Hyy should be studied together with HZZ/HWW because of overlapping operator sensitivity (cHW, cHWB, cHB)

Probing the Higgs with angular observables (Jiayin)
---------------------------------------------------
- Chris: were other asymmetries considered? No, these provide a complete set of asymmetries but not necessarily optimal
- Andrei: optimal observables were studied for Snowmass; also Z->qq should give 10x events with similar sensitivity
- Ken: not much additional sensitivity to individual operators from angular asymmetries but may gain more in a global analysis

FCC-ee ZH CP studies (Nick)
---------------------------
- Chris: what is the considered luminosity?  we use 7.2/ab with leptonic decays only but not yet optimized
- Ken: will you consider also HZy modifications as well as HZZ?
- Chris: It would be useful to show sensitivity to multiple operators
- Chris: is the dip at phi=0 a detector inefficiency? yes

Sensivity to CP-odd HVV interactions at the 1 TeV ILC (Ivanka)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Andrei: Standard luminosity scenarios should be defined to facilitate comparisons
- Chris: are the Snowmass limits at 1 TeV using ZH production? Yes
- Chris: can there be sensitivity to CP in WWH using the vvH final state?  Andrei: Not enough information

Higgs self-coupling sensitivity in ZH production (Johannes)
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Chris: Is the e+e- tri-Higgs sensitivity only considering Z->ll decays?  Ivanka: it will be hard to measure 8-jet events
- Keisho: What about FCC-hh tri-Higgs?    Ken: See arxiv 1505.06524.  Johannes: See paper by Maltoni et al
- Chris: How large does kappa_lambda need to be for SMEFT to break down? Johannes: Might happen at k_l=2, can instead constrain (phi phi-v^2/2)
