Charged Higgs Observability via Charged Higgs Pair Production at Future Lepton Collider

Abstract

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^{*}/ \gamma^{*}\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 $\tan\beta $ is kept relatively high to enhance the branching ratio of $ H\rightarrow b\overline{b} $ to benefit the signal processes. The main SM background processes produced is $ t\overline{t} $. Signal selection and significance efficiencies are calculated at integrated luminosities of $100 fb^{-1} $ and $ 500 fb^{-1} $. The reconstructed and corrected mass of charged Higgs bosons $ H^{\pm} $ is determined. Through analyzing the results, it is demonstrated that charged Higgs bosons can be discovered through pair production process via its bosonic decays. This study is supposed to provide the experimentalists a good way to examine the Higgs bosons beyond SM, as well as to check the validity of 2HDM models in considered parameter space.
