With the current precision of measurements by the ATLAS and CMS experiments,
it cannot be excluded that a SM-like Higgs boson is a CP violating mixture of
CP-even and CP-odd states. We explore this ...possibility here, assuming Higgs
boson production in ZZ-fusion, at 1 TeV ILC, with unpolarized beams. The full
simulation of SM background and fast simulation of the signal is performed,
simulating 8 ab$^{-1}$ of data collected with the ILD detector. We demonstrate
that the CP mixing angle $\Psi_{\mathrm{CP}}$ between scalar and pseudoscalar
states can be measured with the statistical uncertainty of 3.8 mrad at 68% CL,
corresponding to 1.44 $\cdot 10^{-5}$ for the CP parameter $f_\mathrm{CP}$, for
the pure scalar state. This is the first result on sensitivity of an
$e^{+}e^{-}$ collider to measure $f_\mathrm{CP}$ in the Higgs production vertex
in vector boson fusion.

collider experiments. The detector planes were produced utilising novel connectivity scheme technologies. They were installed in a compact prototype of the calorimeter and tested at DESY with an electron beam of energy 1–5 GeV. The performance of a prototype of a compact LumiCal comprising eight detector planes was studied. The effective Molière radius at 5 GeV was determined to be (8.1 ± 0.1 (stat) ± 0.3 (syst)) mm, a value well reproduced by the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation (8.4 ± 0.1) mm. The dependence of the effective Molière radius on the electron energy in the range 1–5 GeV was also studied. Good agreement was obtained between data and MC simulation.

The ratio of the longitudinal to transverse cross sections, the ratio of the helicity amplitudes and their relative phases are extracted. Several of these measurements have not been performed before and bring new information on the dynamics of diffraction in a QCD framework. The measurements are discussed in the context of models using generalised parton distributions or universal dipole cross sections.
A measurement of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering γ∗p→γp using e+p and e−p collision data recorded with the H1 detector at HERA is presented. The analysed data sample corresponds to an ...integrated luminosity of 306 pb−1, almost equally shared between both beam charges. The cross section is measured as a function of the virtuality Q2 of the exchanged photon and the centre-of-mass energy W of the γ∗p system in the kinematic domain 6.5<Q2<80 GeV2, 30<W<140 GeV and |t|<1 GeV2, where t denotes the squared momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The cross section is determined differentially in t for different Q2 and W values and exponential t-slope parameters are derived. Using e+p and e−p data samples, a beam charge asymmetry is extracted for the first time in the low Bjorken x kinematic domain. The observed asymmetry is attributed to the interference between Bethe–Heitler and deeply virtual Compton scattering processes. Experimental results are discussed in the context of two different models, one based on generalised parton distributions and one based on the dipole approach.
A measurement of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering γ∗p→γp using e−p collision data recorded with the H1 detector at HERA is presented. The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated ...luminosity of 145 pb−1. The cross section is measured as a function of the virtuality Q2 of the exchanged photon and the centre-of-mass energy W of the γ∗p system in the kinematic domain 6.5<Q2<80 GeV2, 30<W<140 GeV and |t|<1 GeV2, where t denotes the squared momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The cross section is determined differentially in t for different Q2 and W values and exponential t-slope parameters are derived. The measurements are compared to a NLO QCD calculation based on generalised parton distributions. In the context of the dipole approach, the geometric scaling property of the DVCS cross section is studied for different values of t.

. High statistics measurements covering the data taking periods 1999–2000 and 2004–2007 are combined with previously published results in order to provide a single set of diffractive cross sections from the H1 experiment using the large rapidity gap selection method. The combined data represent a factor between three and thirty increase in statistics with respect to the previously published results. The measurements are compared with predictions from NLO QCD calculations based on diffractive parton densities and from a dipole model. The proton vertex factorisation hypothesis is tested.
