Abstract
We perform a comprehensive global analysis in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as in the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) of the production and decay mechanisms of charged Higgs bosons $(H^\pm)$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Starting from the most recent experimental results (SM-like Higgs boson signal strengths and search limits for new Higgs boson states obtained at Run-1 and -2 of the LHC and previous colliders), from (both direct and indirect) searches for Supersymmetric particles as well as from flavor observables (from both $e^+e^-$ factories and hadron colliders) and upon enforcing theoretical constraints (vacuum stability, perturbativity, unitarity), we present precise predictions for $H^\pm$ cross sections and decay rates in different reference scenarios of the two aforementioned models in terms of the parameter space currently available, specifically mapped over the customary $(m_{A,H^\pm}, \tan\beta)$ planes, including singling out specific Benchmark Points (BPs) amenable to phenomenological investigation. These include the $m_{h}^{{\rm mo}d+}$ and hMSSM configurations of the MSSM and the 2HDM Type-I, -II, -X and -Y. Such BPs are always close to (or coinciding with) the best fits of the theoretical scenarios to experimental data. We also briefly discuss the ensuing phenomenology for the purpose of aiding future searches for such charged Higgs boson states.
Highlights
The Higgs boson discovery of 2012 [1,2,3,4] at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has led to the confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) as the proper theory of the Electro-Weak (EW) scale
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type II, these constraints are typically stronger for large values of tan β, due to an enhancement of the production cross section of the heavier Higgs bosons in bottom-quark annihilation
We present our findings for the MSSM and 2HDM in turn
Summary
Abdesslam Arhrib 1, Rachid Benbrik 2*, Hicham Harouiz 2, Stefano Moretti 3 and Abdessamad Rouchad 2. We perform a comprehensive global analysis in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as in the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) of the production and decay mechanisms of charged Higgs bosons (H±) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We present precise predictions for H± cross sections and decay rates in different reference scenarios of the two aforementioned models in terms of the parameter space currently available, mapped over the customary (mA,H± , tan β) planes. These include the mmh od+ and hMSSM configurations of the MSSM and the 2HDM Type-I, -II, -X, and -Y for which we enforce theoretical constraints, such as vacuum stability, perturbativity, and unitarity. We briefly discuss the ensuing phenomenology for the purpose of aiding future searches for such charged Higgs boson states
