Observability of s-channel Heavy Charged Higgs at LHC Using Top Tagging Technique
arXiv:1511.00874 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2016)040
Abstract
In this paper, the question of observability of a heavy charged Higgs in the mass range 400 GeV < mH < 1000 GeV, is addressed. The production process is set to pp -> H+ -> tb at 14 TeV LHC. The analysis benefits from top tagging technique which is based on finding a fat jet as a result of the boosted top quark decay in signal events. A detailed hadron level analysis is performed and selection efficiencies are presented with different charged Higgs mass hypotheses. Finally running toy experiments and using pseudo-data, a fit over signal plus background distributions is performed to assess possibility of reconstructing the charged Higgs peak and its invariant mass measurement. It is shown that the charged Higgs mass can well be reconstructed in the mass range 500 GeV to 1 TeV, with a signal significance which depends on tanbeta. Eventually 5sigma discovery and 95% C.L. exclusion contours are also provided.
