In the Next-to-Minimal SuperSymmetric Model (NMSSM) the lightest CP-odd Higgs bosons (a1) can be very light. As a consequence, in addition to the standard charged Higgs boson (h±) decays considered in the MSSM for a light charged Higgs (mh±<mt), the branching fraction forh±→a1Wcan be dominant. We investigate how this signal can be searched for intt-production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the case that (ma1≳2mB) with thea1giving rise to a singlebb--jet and discuss to what extent the LHC experiments are able to discover such a scenario with an integrated luminosity ~20 fb−1. We also discuss the implications of the possible Higgs-signal observed at the LHC.

Abstract In this paper, we investigate sizeable interference effects between a heavy charged Higgs boson signal produced dominantly via $$ gg\to t\overline{b}{H}^{-} $$ gg → t b ¯ H − (+ c.c.) followed by the decay $$ {H}^{-}\to b\overline{t} $$ H − → b t ¯ (+ c.c.) and the irreducible background given by $$ pp\to t\overline{t}b\overline{b} $$ pp → t t ¯ b b ¯ topologies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that it may be possible that such effects could spoil current H± searches where signal and background are normally treated separately. The reason for this is that a heavy charged Higgs boson can have a large total width, in turn enabling such interferences, altogether leading to potentially very significant alterations, both at the inclusive and exclusive level, of the yield induced by the signal alone. This therefore implies that currently established LHC searches for such wide charged Higgs bosons might require modifications. We show such effects quantitatively using two different benchmark configurations of the minimal realisation of Supersymmetry, wherein such H± states naturally exist. However, on the basis of the limited computing resources available, we are unable to always bring the statistical error down to a level where all such interference effects are unequivocal, so that we advocate dedicated experimental analyses to confirm this with higher statistics data samples.

We study the production of a heavy charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in [Formula: see text] within a 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). The chiral structure of the [Formula: see text] coupling can trigger a particular spin state of the top quark produced in the decay of a charged Higgs boson and, therefore, is sensitive to the underlying mechanism of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB). Taking two benchmark models (2HDM type-I and 2HDM type-Y) as an example, we show that inclusive rates, differential distributions and forward–backward asymmetries of the top quark’s decay products can be used to search for heavy charged Higgs bosons and also as model discriminators.
