Single charged Higgs boson production at next generation linear colliders

Abstract

We study the single production of charged Higgs bosons in e+e- collisions, chiefly in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Our analysis complements foregoing studies of the pair production channel especially in regions where the kinematic constraint suppresses pair production. We present cross sections relevant to experiments at the next generation linear colliders and some brief discussions of their phenomenology. Our analysis shows that the single production is a useful alternative channel for studying the phenomenology of charged Higgs bosons, and there are regions of parameter space where it is accessible beyond the kinematic limit for pair production.
