Search for a charged Higgs boson decaying to cs in the low mass region with the ATLAS detector at √s=13 TeV — Jochen Dingfelder, Tatjana Lenz, and •Christian Nass — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bonn, Deutschland
In the Standard Model (SM) electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is introduced by a single complex scalar field. The consequence is the prediction of a scalar, neutrally charged particle, the Higgs boson, which was discovered at the LHC in 2012 at the LHC. A simple extension of the SM is to introduce EWSB through two complex scalar fields. Such two-Higgs doublet models (2HDM) are attractive because they offer the opportunity to include additional CP violation in the SM, which is needed for explaining baryogenesis. 2HDMs feature 3 neutral and 2 charged Higgs bosons. An observation of such a charged scalar particle would be a striking signal of physics beyond the SM.
In the low mass region, mH± < mt, the dominant production mode is by a tt pair with one t-quark decaying to H± b. At low masses, the search for H± → cs decays is promising, as suggested in several theory papers. This talk presents the analysis strategy to define signal-enriched and -depleted regions as well as the expected sensitivity for the H± → cs search, including a complete set of systematics uncertainties, with the full Run-2 ATLAS dataset.
