Search for the charged Higgs boson in the decays of top quark pairs in the e tau and mu tau channels at root s=1.8 TeV Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Top quark production offers the unique opportunity to search for a charged Higgs boson (H), as the contribution from tH+b+b can be large in extensions of the standard model. We use results from a search for top quark pair production by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in the e+Slashed E signT+jets and +Slashed E signT+jets signatures to set an upper limit on the branching ratio of (tH+b) in 106 pb-1 of data. The upper limit is in the range 0.5 to 0.6 at 95% C.L. for H+ masses in the range 60 to 160 GeV, assuming the branching ratio for H+ is 100%. The lepton is detected through its 1-prong and 3-prong hadronic decays. 2000 The American Physical Society.
