Heavy Charged Higgs Signals at the LHC

Abstract

We discuss the viability of gbtHttbgb \to tH \to ttb charged-Higgs signals at the proposed LHC pppp supercollider, in the decay channel tt(bqqˉ)(bν)tt \to (bq \bar q')(b \ell \nu). Here one top quark decays hadronically and one semileptonically, with all three bb-quarks giving flavor-tagged jets. The principal backgrounds come from ttg,ttq,ttcttg,ttq,ttc and ttbttb continuum production, with possible mis-tagging of g,qg,q and cc. We conclude that significant signals can be separated from these backgrounds, for limited but interesting ranges of the parameters mH±m_{H\pm} and tanβ\tan\beta, with the LHC energy and luminosity.
