Light charged Higgs boson production at the Large Hadron electron Collider

摘要

We study the production of a light charged Higgs boson at the future Large Hadron electron Collider, through the process e~-p → ν_eH~-q, considering both decay channels H~- → bc and H~- → τν_τ in the final state. We analyze these processes in the context of the two-Higgs doublet model type III and assess the Large Hadron electron Collider sensitivity to such H~- signals against a variety of both reducible and irreducible backgrounds. We confirm that prospects for H~- detection in the two-Higgs doublet model type III are excellent, assuming standard collider energy and luminosity conditions.
