Production of charged Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model in b-quark-initiated processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
- Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HE (United Kingdom)
We study integrated and differential rates for the production of charged Higgs bosons H{sup {plus_minus}} of the minimal supersymmetric standard model via b-quark-initiated subprocesses in pp collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In detail, we compute cross sections and distributions of the reactions bU{r_arrow}bDH{sup +}{r_arrow}bD{tau}{sup +}{nu}{sub {tau}}{circle_plus}c.c. and bU{r_arrow}bDH{sup +}{r_arrow}bDt{bar b}{r_arrow}bDb{bar b}jj{circle_plus}c.c., for a H{sup {plus_minus}} scalar in the intermediate (i.e., M{sup {plus_minus}}{lt}m{sub t}+m{sub b}) and heavy (i.e., M{sup {plus_minus}}{gt}m{sub t}+m{sub b}) mass range, respectively (U and D represent generic u- and d-type light quarks). In the former case, charged Higgs boson masses up to about 145 GeV can be covered for both large and small tan{beta}{close_quote}s. In the latter case, charged scalars can be detected for values of M{sub H{sup {plus_minus}}} up to about 500 GeV, especially if tan{beta} is large, and provided that either excellent b-tagging performances can be achieved or the high luminosity option becomes available. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
