Title: Generic Tests of C P Violation in High- p T Multilepton Signals at the LHC and Beyond

Abstract

We introduce a modification to the standard expression for tree-level $CP$-violation in scattering processes at the LHC, which is important when the initial state in not self-conjugate. Based on that, we propose a generic and model-independent search strategy for probing tree-level $CP$-violation in inclusive multi-lepton signals. We then use TeV-scale 4-fermion operators of the form $tuℓℓ$ and $tcℓℓ$ with complex Wilson coefficients as an illustrative example and show that it may generate $$\mathscr{O}$$(10%) $CP$ asymmetries that should be accessible at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of $$\mathscr{O}$$(1000) fb-1.
