Discovery Potential of MSSM Higgs Bosons with ATLAS
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article the potential of the ATLAS experiment to discover MSSM Higgs bosons is discussed. Various Monte-Carlo studies for SM Higgs boson production and dedicated MSSM Higgs boson analyses are taken into account to investigate the discovery potential in four different CPconserving MSSM benchmark scenarios, the Mh–max scenario, the no mixing scenario, the gluophobic scenario and the small α scenario. The most recent theoretical calculations are used for the prediction of Higgs masses and couplings. The results are shown for integrated luminosities of 30 and 300 inverse fb. With 300 inverse fb, a five sigma discovery of at least one Higgs boson state is possible in all scenarios for all values of tanβ and MA. The heavy neutral and charged Higgs states can only be discovered in parts of the parameter space.

Search of the Higgs boson decaying into tau-leptons at ATLAS
The search for the Higgs boson is one of the main goals of the Large Hadron Collider experiments. Both in the Standard Model (SM) and in its minimal supersymmetric extensions (MSSM), one or several new bosons are expected as manifestations of the Higgs field. The tau lepton will be essential for Higgs(es) discovery. In fact, both in SM and in the MSSM, the Higgs boson(s) decaying into tau-pairs...

متن کاملCharged Higgs bosons in Minimal Supersymmetry: Updated constraints and experimental prospects
We discuss the phenomenology of charged Higgs bosons in the MSSM with minimal flavor violation. In addition to the constrained MSSM (CMSSM) with universal soft supersymmetry breaking mass parameters at the GUT scale, we explore non-universal Higgs mass models (NUHM) where this universality condition is relaxed. To identify the allowed parameter space regions, we apply constraints from direct se...
متن کاملSearch for non-Standard-Model Higgs at the LHC with ATLAS
The discovery prospects of non-Standard Model Higgs bosons with the ATLAS detector are presented. Due to the high branching ratio, results on decay channels that include tau leptons are presented both for the search of the neutral and the charged MSSM Higgs bosons. For the neutral Higgs bosons, results on the muon pair final state are also reported. Furthermore, decay scenarios that include SUS...
متن کاملThe ATLAS discovery potential for MSSM neutral Higgs bosons decaying to a μμ pair in the mass range up to 130 GeV
Results are presented on the discovery potential for MSSM neutral Higgs bosons in the mh −max scenario. The region of large tanβ, between 15 and 50, and mass between ≈ 95 and 130 GeV is considered in the framework of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), for a centre-of-mass energy √ s = 14 TeV. This parameter region is not fully covered by the present data either from LEP or...
