چکیده

We present a new method for matching the two twin-processes gb → Ht and gg → Htb in Monte Carlo event generators. The matching is done by defining a double-counting term, which is used to generate events that are subtracted from the sum of the two twin-processes. In this way we get a smooth transition between the collinear region of phase space, which is best described by gb → Ht, and the hard region, which requires the use of the gg → Htb process. The resulting differential distributions show large differences compared to both the gb → Ht and gg → Htb processes illustrating the necessity to use matching both when tagging and not tagging the accompanying b-jet.

Triplet Higgs boson at hadron colliders

The novel feature of a Higgs-triplet representation is a nonzero tree-level coupling of HWZ, which is absent in all Higgs-doublet models. We study the associated production of a singly-charged Higgs boson of the Higgs-triplet representation with a W or Z boson at hadron colliders, followed by the H → WZ decay. We find that the 2l+ 4j final state gives an interesting level of signal with a negli...

An improved description of charged Higgs boson production

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of charged Higgs bosons. In order to be able to find those particles, an accurate description of their production is needed. In Monte Carlo simulations of charged Higgs boson production at hadron colliders, the two tree-level processes gb → Ht and gg → Htb are used. Since those processes overlap in the collinear region of the phase-spa...

Higgs Boson Decays into Light Gravitinos

We study decays of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model into a very light gravitino and a neutralino or chargino. Present experimental constraints already imply that the lighter scalar Higgs boson can only have a very small branching ratio into this mode. However, if the gravitino mass is below ∼ 0.5 eV, the heavier neutral and charged Higgs boson de...

Prospects for heavy supersymmetric charged Higgs boson searches at hadron colliders

We investigate the production of a heavy charged Higgs boson at hadron colliders within the context of the MSSM. A detailed study is performed for all important production modes and basic background processes for the tt̄bb̄ signature. In our analysis we include effects of initial and final state showering, hadronization, and principal detector effects. For the signal production rate we include th...

Associated production of a top quark and a charged Higgs boson

1550-7998=20 We compute the inclusive and differential cross sections for the associated production of a top quark along with a charged Higgs boson at hadron colliders to next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and in supersymmetric QCD. For small Higgs boson masses we include top-quark pair production diagrams with subsequent top-quark decay into a bottom quark...

Inclusive Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders at Next-to-next-to-leading Order

Inclusive production via gluon fusion will be the most important production channel for Higgs boson discovery at the LHC. I report on a calculation of the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section at pp and p¯ p colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD.
