Type: preprint
Abstract: CP-Odd Information Flow in H → ZZ* → 4ℓ: Imaginary Spin Correlations and Virtuality-Resolved Tomography We quantify how much CP-odd Higgs information survives compression into spin-correlation moments in H → ZZ* → 4ℓ. In a specified leading-order model, a real ε = a3/a1 deformation changes helicity phases at first order; single-Z marginals, masses, and reflection-even summaries are locally insensitive. Three calibrated imaginary moments retain 96.8% of inclusive angular Fisher information and 85.5% of joint mass–angular information. Four virtuality bins raise the latter fraction to 91.5%, despite their populations having zero linear response. At N = 4500, the three-moment and joint information are 19.54 and 22.86, giving a joint local uncertainty σ(ε) = 0.209. We relate the moments explicitly to established CP-odd angular structures, separate conjugate redundancy from independent measurements, and quantify information lost through mass integration and moment compression. Analytic checks, numerical convergence tests, and pseudo-experiments establish a reproducible baseline for experimental response studies.
