Here, we study the prospects of measuring the CP property of the Higgs (h) coupling to tau leptons using the vector boson fusion (VBF) production mode at the high-luminosity LHC. Utilizing the previously proposed angle between the planes spanned by the momentum vectors of the (π⁺π⁰) and (π^-π⁰) pairs originating in τ^± decays as the CP-odd observable, we perform a detailed Monte Carlo analysis, taking into account the relevant standard model backgrounds, as well as detector resolution effects. We then found that excluding a pure CP-odd coupling hypothesis requires O(400 fb^-1) luminosity at the 14TeV LHC, and values of the CP-mixing angle larger than about 25° can be excluded at 95% con fidence level using 3 ab^-1 data. It is observed that the uncertainty in the angular resolution of the neutral pion momenta does not constitute a signifi cant hurdle. Achieving a signal to background ratio (S=B) close to one, while keeping a high enough signal yield required to study the angular distributions selects out VBF as a promising mode to probe the CP nature of the hττ coupling, with gluon fusion suffering from a low S=B, and the W^±h=Zh mode (with leptonically decaying W^±=Z) having a much smaller signal rate.
