Abstract: (APS)
At present, the study of the charm-quark Yukawa coupling at the Large Hadron Collider mainly focuses on the Higgs decay processes. Such signal suffers from overwhelming QCD background and derives its sensitivity primarily from the associated production channel. In addition, sensitivity to a possible phase in charm-quark Yukawa at the hadron collider is not discussed. We investigate the charm-Higgs associated production signal that contains a potentially detectable interference term between Yukawa coupling mediated diagrams and coupling mediated diagram. Such an interference term is sensitive to the relative phase between contributing diagrams. High dimensional kinematic information is exploited by machine learning techniques to separate the different contribution, and sensitivity on the coupling is derived. Assuming a real modification framework, the bound of (HL-LHC) and (FCC) are achieved. When allowing for phase in the charm Yukawa, a combined bound of , (HL-LHC) and , (FCC) can be achieved on the magnitude and phase of the coupling, respectively.Note:
