Probing Higgs Sector CP Violation with Top Quarks at a Photon Linear Collider

We investigate for two-Higgs doublet models with intrinsic CP violation in the scalar potential CP-nonconserving effects in unpolarized $γγ\rightarrow t \bar{t}$ for a range of neutral Higgs boson masses which includes resonant $φ$ production and the subsequent decay of $φ\rightarrow t \bar{t}$. The importance of taking into account, even in the resonant case, the interference with the nonresonant background is shown. Further, we propose and calculate three asymmetries which efficiently trace CP-violating effects in $γγ\rightarrow t \bar{t}$ using semileptonic $t \bar{t}$ decays.
