The analysis exploits the decay mode of the Higgs boson into a pair of t leptons and is based on 20.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at root s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Contributions from CP-violating interactions between the Higgs boson and electroweak gauge bosons are described in an effective field theory framework, in which the strength of CP violation is governed by a single parameter (d) over tilde. The mean values and distributions of CP-odd observables agree with the expectation in the Standard Model and show no sign of CP violation. The CP-mixing parameter (d) over tilde is constrained to the interval (-0.11, 0.05) at 68{\%} confidence level, consistent with the Standard Model expectation of (d) over tilde = 0.", optnote="WOS:000399841100001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3064), last updated on Thu, 11 May 2017 10:54:59 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4499-5", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04516", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4499-5", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1602.04516", language="English" }
