Production of charged Higgs boson associated with a W gauge boson at the LHC is mainly induced by the tree-level [Formula: see text] annihilation and the one-loop gg fusion. In the context of the Higgs triplet model (HTM) and the left–right twin Higgs (LRTH) model, we calculate the production cross-section σ of the process pp→H±W∓ and compare our results with those given by supersymmetry (SUSY). We find that, in most of the parameter space of the HTM, the production cross-section σ is smaller than that predicted by the LRTH model or SUSY. The value of σ within the LRTH model is larger or smaller than the SUSY case, which depends on the relevant free parameters.

The left–right twin Higgs (LRTH) model predicts the existence of the charged Higgs ϕ±. In this paper, we study the production of the charged Higgs boson ϕ- with single top quark via the process bg → tϕ- at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The numerical results show that the production cross-section can reach the level of 10 pb in the reasonable parameter space of the LRTH model. We expect that, as long as it is not too heavy, the possible signatures of the heavy charged Higgs boson ϕ-> might be detected via the decay mode [Formula: see text] at the LHC experiments.

A measurement of the [Formula: see text] production cross-section at [Formula: see text] with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, based on the application of a multivariate topological method is presented. The integrated luminosity corresponds to 143.9 pb-1 in the μ+jets and 141.2 pb-1 in the e+jets channel. The preliminary cross-section is measured to be [Formula: see text].

The dilepton decays of the top quark are a powerful laboratory for probing the Standard Model and searching for hints of a more fundamental theory. We present a detailed analysis of the production cross section and the kinematic qualities of top quark pair candidate events in [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF detector which include two leptons in the final state, suggesting the decay [Formula: see text]. We describe the selection of candidate events to suppress major backgrounds and present the number of observed events over background. As a test of the top quark hypothesis, the kinematics of the events are analyzed via a measurement of M top with unprecedented precision.

AbstractWe present a search strategy for the first Kaluza–Klein (KK) mode of the Higgs boson in the framework of the Randall–Sundrum (RS) model with a deformed metric. We study the production of this massive excitation in association with a $$ t {\bar{t}}$$tt¯ pair at the large hadron collider (LHC). The KK Higgs primarily decays into a boosted $$t {\bar{t}}$$tt¯ final state and we then end up with an interesting four-top final state of which two are boosted. The boosted products in the final state improve the sensitivity for the search of the KK Higgs in this channel whose production cross-section is otherwise rather small. Our results suggest that masses of the KK Higgs resonance upto about 1.2 TeV may be explorable at the highest planned luminosities of the LHC. Beyond this mass, the KK Higgs cross-section is too tiny for it to be explored at the LHC and may be possible only at a future higher energy collider.

Abstract A search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark is presented. The data analysed correspond to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The production of a heavy charged Higgs boson in association with a top quark and a bottom quark, pp → tbH+ → tbtb, is explored in the H+ mass range from 200 to 2000 GeV using final states with jets and one electron or muon. Events are categorised according to the multiplicity of jets and b-tagged jets, and multivariate analysis techniques are used to discriminate between signal and background events. No significant excess above the background-only hypothesis is observed and exclusion limits are derived for the production cross-section times branching ratio of a charged Higgs boson as a function of its mass; they range from 3.6 pb at 200 GeV to 0.036 pb at 2000 GeV at 95% confidence level. The results are interpreted in the hMSSM and $$ {M}_h^{125} $$ M h 125 scenarios.

We present measurements of the [Formula: see text] production cross section in b-tagged lepton + jets events from [Formula: see text] collisions at 1.96 TeV using the CDF detector at Fermilab. B-jets are tagged with either a secondary vertex algorithm, or a soft lepton tagger that identifies muons from B hadron semileptonic decays. With Tevatron Run II data, we estimate the [Formula: see text] signal fraction in two different ways: by estimating the various background contributions, and by fitting directly the leading jet transverse energy spectrum for the signal and background contributions. A subset of the sample, with two secondary vertex tagged jets, yields a production cross section consistent with the inclusive measurements. Results are consistent with a Standard Model [Formula: see text] signal and current measurements of the top quark mass.
