In this paper, we discuss application of the TauSpinner package as a simulation tool for measuring the CP state of the newly discovered Higgs boson using the transverse spin correlations in the H → ττ decay channel. We discuss application for its main background Z /γ ∗ → ττ as well. The TauSpinner package allows to add, with the help of weights, transverse spin correlations corresponding to any mixture of scalar/pseudoscalar state, on already exist-ing events using information from the kinematics of outgoing τ leptons and their decay products only. This procedure can be used when polarimetric vectors of the τ s decays and density matrix for τ -pair production are not stored with the event sample. We concentrate on the well-defined effects for the Higgs (or Higgs-like scalar) decays, which are physically separated from the production processes. TauSpinner also allows to reintroduce (or remove) spin correlations to events from Drell–Yan Z /γ ∗ → ττ process, the main background for the Higgs parity observables, again with the help of weights only. From the literature, we recall well-established observables, developed for measuring the CP of the Higgs, one loop level, segment of the code. We have started to collect the necessary preliminary results in the directory CP-tests/Z-pi . First, we have checked that, as in analytic form of [32], only diagonal parts of R ij and polarization ( R tz , R zt ) remain non zero in the high energy limit (see the contentof CP-tests/Z-pi/RijS-INTcosthe.root file).Plots for different component of R ij are given as a function of invari- ant mass and incoming quark flavor. The module of R ij is taken and integration over the hard scattering angle is performed. Encour- aged by this confirmation we have looked into the comparison of R xx and R yy for different values of s and incoming quark flavors but as function of the cosine of the hard scattering angle (see the content of CP-tests/Z-pi/Rijcostheta-S=2-6.root and CP-tests/Z-pi/delta12.root files). For higher values of s the R xx and R yy were coinciding. Thus, the resulting background will fea-ture,seeFig.4,transversespineffects(necessaryforCPHiggsmeasure-ment)asifthesamplewasnotpolarized,providedthattheobservablewillsymmetrizetheoverallorientationanglecommonforthetwo τ decay systems, with respect to the hard scattering plane.
