| A search of charged Higgs in the decay products of pair-produced
top quarks. OLD Analysis go the current analysis' web page here |
Two Higgs doublet extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of charged Higgs bosons ( H^{+/-}). In such models the branching fraction for top quarks B(t->H^{+}b) can be large thus compiting with the SM decay t->W^{+}b.
This study presents the results of a search of charged Higgs in the decay products of the pair-produced top quarks. This search is based on the cross section measurements of ttbar production in three exclusive decay channels; the "dilepton" , "lepton + jets" and "lepton + hadronic tau" channel.
Assuming the charged Higgs decays to csbar, taunu and Wbbbar, limits in the t->Hb branching ratio are obtained. The interpretation of these results in the framework of SUSY theory and in a general Type II Two Doublet Higgs model are also presented.
