Discovery Reach of Charged MSSM Higgs Bosons at CMS

We review the 5σ discovery contours for the charged MSSM Higgs boson at the CMS experiment with 30 fb−1 for the two cases MH± < mt and MH± > mt . In order to analyze the search reach we combine the latest results for the CMS experimental sensitivities based on full simulation studies with state-of-the-art theoretical predictions of MSSM Higgs-boson production and decay properties. Special emphasis is put on the SUSY parameter dependence of the 5σ contours. The variation of μ can shift the prospective discovery reach in tanβ by up to ∆ tanβ = 40. ∗ talk given at the SUSY 08, June 2008, Seoul, Korea † email: [email protected] ∗∗ email: [email protected] ‡ email: [email protected] Discovery Reach of Charged MSSM Higgs Bosons at CMS S.
