Possibility of observing an MSSM charged Higgs boson in association with a W boson at the LHC
Abstract
The possibility of observing associated production of the charged Higgs and W boson in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) at LHC is studied. Both leptonic and hadronic decays of the W boson are studied while the charged Higgs boson is considered to decay to a τ lepton and a neutrino. Therefore two search categories are defined based on the leptonic and hadronic final states, i.e., ℓτ+ETmiss and jjτ+ETmiss where ℓ=e or μ and j is a light jet from W decay. The discovery chance of the two categories is evaluated at an integrated luminosity of 300fb-1 at LHC. It is shown that both leptonic and hadronic final states have the chance of discovery at high tanβ. Finally 5σ and 3σ contours are provided for both search categories.
