Charged Higgs Mass Limits from the Charged Kaon and Tau to Kaon Branching Fractions

Abstract

From an analysis of the current world averages of the charged kaon and tau to kaon branching fractions, we derive, within the framework of type II Higgs doublets models such as the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model, $\tan \beta /m_H<0.21$ GeV${}^{-1}$ at a 90% confidence limit.
