Associated W+/- H-/+ production at e+ e- and hadron colliders

We show some results in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and the two Higgs doublet model (THDM) for W+/- H-/+ production cross sections at e+ e- and hadron colliders. We demonstrate that the predictions for the cross sections in the two models can be vastly different. Observing these processes, once the existence of a charged Higgs is established, might shed some light on the underlying model for an extended Higgs sector.

The MSSM prediction for W+/- H-/+ production by gluon fusion

We discuss the associated W+/- H-/+ production in p p collision for the Large Hadron Collider. A complete one-loop calculation of the loop-induced subprocess g g -> W+/- H-/+ is presented in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), and the possible enhancement of the hadronic cross section is investigated under the constraint from the squark direct-search results and the low-energy precision data. Because of the large destructive interplay in the quark-loop contributions between triangle-type and box-type diagrams, the squark-loop contributions turn out to be comparable with the quark-loop ones. In particular, the hadronic cross section via gluon fusion can be extensively enhanced by squark-pair threshold effects in the box-type diagrams, so that it can be as large as the hadronic cross section via the b b-bar -> W+/- H-/+ subprocess which appears at tree level.
