Charged Higgs production from polarized top-quark decay in the 2HDM considering the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme

Abstract

Charged Higgs bosons $H^{\pm }$ are predicted by some non-minimal Higgs scenarios, such as models containing Higgs triplets and two-Higgs-doublet models, so that the experimental observation of these bosons would indicate physics beyond the Standard Model. In the present work, we introduce a new channel to indirect search for the charged Higgses through the hadronic decay of polarized top quarks where a top quark decays into a charged Higgs $H^{+}$ and a bottom-flavored hadron $B$ via the hadronization process of the produced bottom quark, $t(\uparrow )\to H^{+}+b(\to B+jet)$. To obtain the energy spectrum of produced $B$-hadrons we present, for the first time, an analytical expression for the $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s)$ corrections to the differential decay width of the process $t\to H^{+}b$ in the presence of a massive b-quark in the General-Mass Variable-Flavor-Number Scheme (GM-VFNS). We find that the most reliable predictions for the B-hadron energy spectrum are made in the GM-VFN scheme, specifically, when the Type-II 2HDM scenario is concerned.
