Testing neutrino masses in little Higgs models via discovery of doubly charged Higgs at LHC

Abstract

We have investigated the possibility of direct tests of little Higgs models incorporating triplet Higgs neutrino mass mechanism at LHC experiments. We have performed Monte Carlo studies of Drell-Yan pair production of doubly charged Higgs boson Φ^{++} followed by its leptonic decays which branching ratios are fixed from the neutrino oscillation data. We propose appropriate selection rules for the four-lepton signal, including reconstructed taus, which are optimized for the discovery of Φ^{++} with the lowest LHC luminosity. As the Standard Model background can be effectively eliminated, an important aspect of our study is the correct statistical treatment of the LHC discovery potential. Adding detection efficiencies and measurement errors to the Monte Carlo analyses, Φ^{++} can be discovered up to the mass 250 GeV in the first year of LHC, and 700 GeV mass is reachable for the integrated luminosity L=30 fb^{-1}.
