The Hadronic Tau Decay Signature of a Heavy Charged Higgs Boson at LHC
Abstract
The hadronic tau decay channel offers by far the best signature for heavy charged Higgs boson search at the LHC in the large β region. By exploiting the distinct polarization of the tau and its large transverse mass, along with the accompanying missing--pT, one can probe for a charged Higgs boson up to a mass of about 600 GeV in an essentially background-free environment. The transverse mass distribution of the tau jet also provides a fairly unambiguous estimate of the charged Higgs boson mass.
