I discuss charged-Higgs production via two different processes: in association with a top quark, and in association with a $W$ boson. I present total cross sections and differential distributions that include higher-order corrections from soft and collinear gluon emission through aN$^3$LO. I show that these radiative corrections are significant.

I discuss LHC signatures of the charged Higgs boson of the MSSM, focussing mainly on the case of the charged Higgs boson being heavier than top quark.
Pseudoscalar and charged Higgs bosons production in the processes $μ^+ μ^-\to P^0_i Z^0$, $μ^+μ^- \to H^{\pm}W^{\mp}$ within the models with several Higgs doublets and singlets is considered.
Searches for charged Higgs bosons are an integral part of current and future investigations at the LHC. The LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group (LHCHXSWG) was created to provide cross sections, branching ratios, analysis strategies etc. for Higgs boson searches at the LHC. We briefly review progress and results for charged Higgs bosons in and for the LHCHXSWG.
In the framework of the models with Higgs triplets, double charged Higgs bosons production in the processes $e^-e^-\toδ^{--}_{L,R}γ$ are considered.
We consider the production of singly charged Higgs bosons in the Higgs triplet and two Higgs doublet models. We evaluate the cross sections for the pair production and the single production of charged higgses at linear collider. The decay modes of $H^+$ and the Standard Model backgrounds are considered. We analyze the possibilities to differentiate between triplet and two Higgs doublet models.
In this short review we discuss two implementations of the charged Higgs boson production process in association with a top quark in Monte Carlo event generators at next-to-leading order in QCD. We introduce the MC@NLO and the POWHEG method of matching next-to-leading order matrix elements with parton showers and compare both methods analyzing the charged Higgs boson production process in association with a top quark. We shortly discuss the case of a light charged Higgs boson where the associated charged Higgs production interferes with the charged Higgs production via t tbar-production and su…
We study the phenomenology of the charged Higgs boson in the "flipped" two Higgs doublet model, in which one doublet gives mass to up-type quarks and charged leptons and the other gives mass to down-type quarks. We present the charged Higgs branching ratios and summarize the indirect constraints. We extrapolate existing LEP searches for H+H- and Tevatron searches for t tbar with t --> H+ b into the flipped model and extract constraints on MH+ and the parameter tan(beta). We finish by reviewing existing LHC charged Higgs searches and suggest that the LHC reach in this model could be extended fo…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model squark mixing can significantly change the pattern of charged-Higgs production. We find that non-minimal flavor structures can have a sizeable impact on the charged-Higgs production cross section, whereas charged-Higgs searches may be able to probe flavor structures not accessible to rare kaon, bottom or charm experiments, and can invalidate the assumption of minimal flavor violation.
The production of triple Higgs $(H^+H^-H^0)$, $(H^+H^-h^0)$ and pair wise charged Higgs boson $(H^+H^-)$ is studied in the context of future linear colliders within the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) type II. The aim is to compare sources of charged Higgs pair through the above processes, i.e., double and triple Higgs production. Cross-sections are calculated at the leading order in 2HDM type II and Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Several orders of magnitude ($\sim 10^{4}$) enhancement is observed in 2HDM compared to MSSM, while no sizable enhancement is seen in muon collider ver…
We explain the current excess seen at the Large Hadron Collider via the $gg\to H\toγγ$ channel in the search for a neutral Higgs boson in terms of both singly (marginally) and doubly (predominantly) charged Higgs bosons predicted by the Higgs Triplet Model.
We point out that in a large class of supersymmetric left-right models with automatic R-parity conservation there are a pair of light doubly charged Higgs bosons and Higgsinos. Requiring the mass of these particles to satisfy the LEP Z-width bound implies that $W_R$ mass must be above $10^{9}$ GeV.
We show that simple extensions of two Higgs doublet models consisting of new heavy neutrinos and a singly charged Higgs boson singlet can successfully explain the experimental data on muon and electron anomalous magnetic moments thanks to large chirally-enhanced one-loop level contributions. These contributions arise from the large couplings of inverse seesaw neutrinos with singly charged Higgs bosons and right-handed charged leptons. The regions of parameter space satisfying the experimental data on $(g-2)_{e,μ}$ anomalies allow heavy singly charged Higgs boson masses above the TeV scale, pro…
We study the discovery prospects of the charged Higgs boson in the context of multi Higgs models in certain BSM scenarios. We classify models into three categories based on the charged Higgs coupling properties: gaugophobic, fermiophobic, and chromophobic. In each case, we identify viable modes of discovery, and present LHC analysis for discovery. We find that extensions of the Standard Model in which the charged Higgs does not couple to colored particles offer the best possible avenues for discovery.
We review the status of publicly available software tools applicable to charged Higgs physics. A selection of codes are highlighted in more detail, focusing on new developments that have taken place since the previous charged Higgs workshop in 2008. We conclude that phenomenologists now have the tools ready to face the LHC data. A new webpage collecting charged Higgs resources is presented.
It is shown that the radiation of a charged Higgs boson off a third-generation quark (charged-Higgs-strahlung) provides an important channel for the discovery of the charged Higgs at hadron colliders. Equivalently, in supersymmetric models with explicit lepton-number (R-parity) violation, sleptons may also be produced in association with quarks (slepton-strahlung). Higgs- and slepton-strahlung production cross sections are given for both the Tevatron and the LHC. The LHC cross sections imply that heavy ${\cal{O}}$(TeV) charged Higgs bosons can be produced via charged-Higgs-strahlung and that s…
We present a new charged Higgs search technique using the effects of scalar dynamics in semileptonic meson decay. Applying this method to a modest sample of B meson decays yields sensitivity to the high tan(beta) region well beyond existing charged Higgs searches. We present a new charged Higgs search technique using the effects of scalar dynamics in semileptonic meson decay. Applying this method to a modest sample of B meson decays yields sensitivity to the high tan(beta) region well beyond existing charged Higgs searches.
The discovery potential for charged Higgs bosons at the ATLAS and CMS experiments is discussed with focus on the MSSM. Studies for several decay channels for the charged Higgs boson are presented both for production in top quark decays and gluon-gluon/gluon-bottom fusion.
I present a calculation of QCD radiative corrections to charged Higgs production via the process bg -> tH-. I show that the cross section is dominated by soft-gluon corrections, which are computed through next-to-next-to-leading order. Results for charged Higgs production at the LHC are presented, including the dependence of the cross section on the charged Higgs mass, the top quark mass, the factorization and renormalization scales, and tan beta.
A scheme of neutrino mass generation is proposed by [arXiv:2003.12069], in which the small nonzero neutrino masses come from nonzero vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the charged Higgs field in the Higgs doublet in the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). However, the introduction of nonzero VEV for the charged Higgs field implies broken ${\rm U}(1)$ symmetry in the electroweak theory, which leads to non-conservation of electric charge and nonzero mass of photon. By comparing the predicted ratio of VEVs of charged Higgs field and neutral Higgs field in [1] with the ratio constrained by the…
In this paper the triple Higgs production in a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is studied. The production process is e+e- -> H+H-H0 followed by the charged Higgs decay to a pair of tau nu and the neutral Higgs decay to bb. The alternative process H+W-H0 is also included as a source of charged Higgs signal in the analysis. The focus is on a future e+e- linear collider operating at sqrt(s) = 1.5 TeV. The final state under consideration (tau tau bb ETmiss) is suitable for electroweak background rejection using the b-tagging tools. It is shown that although the signal cross section is small…
In this study the charged Higgs signal through triple or double Higgs production in a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is investigated. The main production process is $e^+e^- \rightarrow H^+H^-H^0$ followed by the charged Higgs decay to a pair of $τν$ and the neutral Higgs decay to $b\bar{b}$. The alternative process $H^+W^-H^0$ is also included as a source of charged Higgs signal in the analysis having comparable cross-section. The focus is on a future $e^+e^-$ linear collider operating at $\sqrt{s}=1.5$ TeV. The final state under consideration ($τ^+ τ^- b \bar{b} E^{\textnormal{miss}}_…
We discuss single charged Higgs boson production from $e^+e^-$ annihilation at next generation linear colliders. They can be important to study the phenomenology of charged Higgs bosons, especially when charged Higgs bosons are too heavy to be produced by the pair production mechanism. Cross sections for various single production processes are evaluated at the leading order. Our analysis shows that in some parameter regions the phenomenology of charged Higgs bosons can be explored even beyond the kinematic limit for pair production by using single production processes.
The D0 experiment has reported a direct search for a charged Higgs boson produced by $q \bar q$ annihilation and decaying to $t \bar b$ final state, in the $180 \leq M_{H^+} \leq 300$ GeV mass range. The analysis has lead to upper limits on the production cross section in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model types I, II and III. We compare the predictions of two different scenarios in the framework of the two Higgs doublet type III to the cross section limits reported by D0 collaboration, and we obtain constraints on the charged Higgs mass, for the case when the charged Higgs mass is b…
We review and update the interpretation of the 125 GeV scalar as the lightest Higgs boson of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, allowing for CP violation in the potential. The detection of a charged Higgs boson would exclude the Standard Model. Proposed benchmarks for charged-Higgs searches in the channel pp\to H^+W^-X\to W^+W^-H_1X are reviewed and updated.
The Higgs sector of the standard model can be extended by introducing an $SU(2)_L$ Higgs triplet $Δ$ to generate the tiny neutrino masses in the framework of type-II seesaw mechanism. In this paper, we study the pair production of the introduced Higgs triplet at future $e^{-}p$ colliders. The corresponding production cross sections via vector boson fusion process at FCC-ep and ILC$\otimes$FCC are predicted, where the production of a pair of doubly charged Higgs is found to be dominant and then used to investigate the collider phenomenology of the Higgs triplet. Depending on the size of the Hig…
I discuss charged Higgs production via the process bg -> t H- at the LHC. I show that the cross section is dominated by soft-gluon corrections and I provide results for its dependence on the charged Higgs mass and on the scale, including higher-order effects.
The production of single and doubly charged Higgs bosons associated with standard model gauge boson $Z_L$ in $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders are examined. The sensitivity of these processes on the littlest Higgs model parameters in the range of compatibility with electroweak precision observables are analyzed. The possibility of detecting lepton flavor violation processes are also discussed.
Charged Higgs scalars light enough to contribute to top quark decays are possible in various non--minimal Higgs models. We show that such a decay would be consistent with the current Tevatron data, and will remain hidden until a larger luminosity can be achieved.
The observability of charged Higgs $ H^{\pm} $ has been investigated at future lepton collider by assuming type-I 2HDM, at a centre of mass energy $ \sqrt{s}=1.5$ TeV. The signal process chain is $ e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow Z^{*}/ γ^{*}\rightarrow H^{+} H^{-}\rightarrow H W^{+} H W^{-}\rightarrow b \overline{b} jjb \overline{b} jj$. The process proceed through virtual gamma and Z-boson exchange in S-channel. Several benchmark points are selected and events are analyzed to reconstruct the mass of charged Higgs bosons $ H^{\pm} $. The value of $\tanβ$ is kept relatively high to enhance the branchin…
We study the signatures of a two Higgs doublet model of Davidson and Logan. The model includes an extra Higgs doublet with the vacuum expectation value (VEV) much smaller than the one of the standard model like Higgs. The smaller VEV is related to the origin of the small neutrino mass in the two Higgs doublet model. In the model, a single non-standard model like Higgs production of weak gauge boson fusion is suppressed due to the smallness of the vacuum expectation value. In contrast to the single Higgs production, the cross section of the Higgs pair production due to gauge boson fusion is not…
We review status and prospects of searches for the charged Higgs boson of 2-Higgs Doublet Models of all Yukawa types at the Large Hadron Collider
We discuss prospects for discovering a charged Higgs boson in the CP-violating type-II two-Higgs-doublet Model. In the light of recent LHC data, we focus on the parameter space that survives experimental as well as the theoretical constraints on the model. Once the phenomenological scenario is set, we analyse the scope for the LHC to discover a charged Higgs in association with the lightest neutral Higgs and a charged vector boson.
We study the constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs boson in the minimal supergravity model based on the recent measurement of the inclusive $b\rightarrow sγ$ decay. It is shown that the lower bound for the charged Higgs mass crucially depends on the sign of the higgsino mass parameter ($μ$). For $μ<0$, the bound exceeds 400 GeV when the ratio of two Higgs vacuum expectation values ($\tanβ$) is larger than 10. No strong bound is obtained for $μ>0$ due to cancellations between charged Higgs and supersymmetric particle contributions. For $3\lsim\tanβ\lsim5$, a charged Higgs lighter than 180…
We demonstrate a new type of cancellation of contributions to the electron and neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) that occurs in three Higgs doublet models (3HDMs) when CP violation appears in the charged Higgs sector. The cancellation becomes exact when the two physical charged Higgs bosons in the model are degenerate in mass. Depending on the model parameters, degeneracies at the 10\% level are however sufficient to evade current bounds on the electron and neutron EDMs. We demonstrate that viable parameter space remains with both charged Higgs bosons lighter than 500 GeV and large CP-vio…
The search for charged Higgs bosons, which are predicted in supersymmetric theories, is difficult at hadron colliders if the mass is large. In this paper we present the theoretical set-up for the production of charged Higgs boson pairs at the LHC in gluon-gluon collisions: $pp -> gg -> H^+ H^-$. When established experimentally, the trilinear couplings between charged and neutral CP-even Higgs bosons, $H^+ H^- h^0$ and $H^+ H^- H^0$, can be measured.
In this work, we present an analysis of a search for charged Higgs boson in the context of Two Doublet Higgs Model (2HDM) which is an extension of the Standard Model of particles physics. The 2HDM predicts by existence scalar sector with new five Higgs bosons, two of them are electrically charged and the other three Higgs bosons are neutral charged. Our analysis based on the Monte Carlo data produced from the simulation of 2HDM with proton antiproton collisions at the Tevatron $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV (Fermi Lab) and proton proton collisions at the LHC $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV (CERN) with final state incl…
Many of the new physics models predicts a light Higgs boson similar to the Higgs boson of the Standard Model (SM) and also extra scalar bosons. Beyond the search channels for a SM Higgs boson, the future collider experiments will explore additional channels that are specific to extended Higgs sectors. We study the charged Higgs boson production within the framework of two Higgs doublet models (THDM) in the proton-proton collisions at the FCC-hh collider. With an integrated luminosity of 500 fb$^{-1}$ at very high energy frontier, we obtain a significant coverage of the parameter space and dist…
In the current work, We investigated the production of neutral Higgs boson and two charged Charginos owing to electron-positron annihilation via different propagators
Exploring Charged Higgs at the Future Circular Collider (FCC): A Review of Two-Higgs-Doublet Models
本文综述了在FCC-hh上利用双重希格斯双态模型探索III型和IV型带电希格斯玻色子的理论研究及发现潜力。
We propose central exclusive production of a charged Higgs boson in association with a W boson as a possible signature of certain types of extended Higgs sectors. We calculate the cross section and find that the rate at the LHC could be large enough to allow observation in some models with two Higgs doublets, where the charged Higgs and at least one of the neutral scalars can be light enough. We use the two-Higgs doublet model as a prototype and consider two distinct regions of parameter space, but we also briefly discuss the prospects for the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, whe…
We review motivation for a light charged Higgs scenario that occurs in a class of models with a light CP-odd Higgs boson. If the light CP-odd Higgs is doublet-like the charged Higgs is typically lighter than the top quark and it dominantly decays into $W^\pm A$ with $B(H^+ \to W^+ A) > 70%$. We summarize experimental constraints from direct searches and discuss search strategies based on subleading decay modes of the CP-odd Higgs. A search for $t \to H^+ b, \;\;\;\; H^+ \to W^+ A, \;\;\;\; A \to μ^+ μ^- $ could provide an evidence for the charged Higgs or a discovery already with 1 fb$^{-1}$ o…
Doubly charged Higgs bosons are very important in particle physics nowadays because they can give mass to neutrinos through seesaw mechanisms. In this work we present the results in the searching for doubly charged Higgs at the CERN LHC for a 3-3-1 model.
In order to identify the Higgs sector realized in nature, the predictions for Higgs boson masses, production cross sections and decay widths have to be compared with experimental results. We give a brief overview about computer codes for the evaluation of the properties of charged Higgs bosons, mostly focusing on the case of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We briefly review the relevance of the various contributions to the charged MSSM Higgs boson mass arising at the one-loop level.
Some aspects of the phenomenology of the top quark and the charged Higgs are studied, emphasizing relations due to radiative corrections. Production mechanisms at the SSC are mentioned, and decay modes are analyzed including radiative corrections to the charged Higgs mass and couplings. The constraints due to the decay b-> s γare discussed. Calculations are performed in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model.
We point out that charged Higgs bosons can decay into final states different than $τ^+ ν_τ$ and $c \bar{s}$, even when they are light enough to be produced at LEPII or at the Tevatron, through top-quark decays. These additional decay modes are overlooked in ongoing searches even though they alter the existing lower bounds on the mass of charged Higgs bosons that are present in supersymmetric and two Higgs doublets models.
We examine the current lower bound on the charged Higgs boson mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. By applying direct search constraints on the neutral Higgs bosons and other supersymmetric states, as well as a number of indirect constraints (b -> s gamma, B_s -> mu mu, B -> tau nu, B -> D tau nu), we find that it is possible to push the charged Higgs boson mass as low as 140 GeV. We work in a completely low-energy approach with no assumptions about scalar mass unification, examining two of the most popular limits for neutral Higgs boson searches: the Max-Mixing and No-Mixing sce…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model we present the calculation of the single charged Higgs-boson production in the gamma W- or Z W-fusion and the charged Higgs strahlung channel, e^+ e^- -> e nu H^\pm. The set of all O(alpha) corrections arising from loops of Standard Model fermions and scalar fermions are taken into account. Contrary to the case of single neutral heavy CP-even Higgs-boson production, for the charged Higgs boson we find for all the parameter space of the typical benchmark scenarios a cross section smaller than \sim 0.01 fb for sqrt(s)/2 \lessim M_H^\pm.
The hadronic tau decay channel offers by far the best signature for heavy charged Higgs boson search at the LHC in the large $\tanβ$ region. By exploiting the distinct polarization of the tau and its large transverse mass, along with the accompanying missing--$p_T$, 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.
We update and compare the capabilities of the purely leptonic mode B --> tau nu and the semileptonic mode B --> D tau nu in the search for a charged Higgs boson.
We present the bounds that can be obtained on the charged Higgs sector in two-Higgs-Doublet Models from measurements at LEP of the decay $B\to Dτν$, and from searches by CLEO for the inclusive decay $b\to sγ$.
We study the charged Higgs production at LHC via its associated production with top quark. The kinematic cuts are optimized to suppress the background processes so that the reconstruction of the charged Higgs and top quark is possible. The angular distributions with respect to top quark spin are explored to study the $Htb$ interaction at LHC.
We explored the prospect of looking for a fermiophobic charged Higgs ($\hpm$) via the same sign trilepton signal at the LHC. A fermiophobic scenario appears in the type-I two Higgs doublet model where the coupling of the $\hpm$ with the Standard Model fermions is inversely proportional to $\tb$. Almost all the experimental searches rely on the fermionic production and decay of the charged Higgs. Consequently, the limit on $\hpm$ for fermiophobic scenarios is non-existent unless $\tb$ is small. We show that for a fermiophobic case, the electroweak production of $\hpm$ is dominant for most of th…
I present a calculation of higher-order radiative corrections to charged Higgs production in association with a top quark via the process bg -> tH-. Results for charged Higgs production at the LHC are presented, including the dependence of the cross section on the charged Higgs mass, the top quark mass, the factorization and renormalization scales, and tan beta. I show that the theoretical prediction for the cross section is significantly enhanced and is greatly stabilized when the higher-order corrections are included.
Production of doubly charged Higgs bosons via the s-channel process e-e- -> H-- -> l-l- at future linear collider energies is studied by taking into account initial state radiation (ISR) and beamstrahlung (ISR + BS), final state radiation (FSR) and detector smearing effects. The discovery bounds of lepton flavour conserving and violating couplings are obtained for doubly charged Higgs bosons. It is found that future linear colliders with centre of mass energies and will be able to probe the doubly charged Higgs bosons with diagonal couplings down to 10^-4 and 10^-3, respectively.
We explore the signals of a charged Higgs arising in a two Higgs doublet model respecting SU(2)_L times U(1) times Z_2 symmetry with three singlet right handed neutrinos, N_R. The charged Higgs in this model has negligible coupling with quarks, and has unsuppressed coupling to leptons and neutrinos. This leads to novel signatures of the charged Higgs at the LHC, especially in the case of an inverted neutrino mass hierarchy, in the form of electrons and muons with missing energy.
This paper has been withdrawn.
We investigate the possibility to discover the charged Higgs via $pp\to W^{\pm}H^{\mp}\to l+\met+b\bar{b}jj$ process at LHC, which suffers from large QCD backgrounds. We optimize the kinematic cuts to suppress the backgrounds, so that the reconstruction of the charged Higgs through hadronic decay is possible. The angular distribution of the b-jet from $H^{\pm}$ decay is investigated as a way to identify the charged scalar from vector bosons.
The SU(3)$_L\otimesU(1)_N$ electroweak model predicts new Higgs bosons beyond the one of the standard model. In this work we investigate the signature and production of doubly charged Higgs bosons in the $e^-e^+$ International Linear Collider and in the CERN Linear Collider. We compute the branching ratios for the doubly charged gauge bosons of the model.
We study the "lepton-specific" two Higgs doublet model, in which one doublet Phi_l gives mass to charged leptons and the other Phi_q gives mass to both up- and down-type quarks. We examine the existing experimental constraints on the charged Higgs boson mass and the parameter tan(beta) \equiv <Phi_q^0>/<Phi_l^0>. The most stringent constraints come from LEP-II direct searches and lepton flavour universality in tau decays. The former yields M_H+ \geq 92.0 GeV; the latter yields two allowed regions, 0.61 tan(beta) GeV \leq M_H+ \leq 0.73 tan(beta) GeV or M_H+ \geq 1.4 tan(beta) GeV, and excludes…
We study the contribution of a generic charged Higgs $(H^+)$ to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_μ$ with the SUSY soft breaking parameters. We find out that the deviation between the experimental data and the predicted SM value on $a_μ$ can be explained by the two-loop charged Higgs diagrams even with $m_{H^+}\sim 400 GeV$.
