Abstract

By exploiting the full process p p→ t b H^-, in place of the standard Monte Carlo procedure of factorising production and decay, p p→ t t followed by t→ b H^-, we show how to improve the discovery reach of the Tevatron (Run 2) in charged Higgs boson searches, in the large tanβ region. This is achieved in conjunction with dedicated cuts on a `transverse mass' distribution sensitive to the Higgs boson mass and to `polarisation' effects in the H^-→τ^-ν_τ decay channel.
