Charged Higgs boson discovery potential at a 500 GeV e+e− linear collider

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The discovery potential for charged Higgs bosons has been studied with full-statistics background simulations for\(\sqrt s\)=500 GeV and ℒ=10fb−1. For the hadronic decay channels\(H^ + H^ - \to \operatorname{c} \bar s\bar cs\), a microvertex detector is crucial for establishing a signal over the\(e^ + e^ - \to t\bar t\) background. A combination with a search in the channels\(H^ + H^ - \to c\bar s\tau ^ - \nu ,\tau ^ + \nu \tau ^ - \bar \nu\) allows detection sensitivity for charged Higgs bosons up to a mass of about 210GeV, independent of the charged Higgs decay modes. Sensitivity regions in them A-tanβ parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric extention of the Standard Model (MSSM) are given.
