Abstract

The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC provide us the possibility of probing the existence of a light charged Higgs boson. In this paper we study semi-leptonic decay of a polarized top quark via the charged Higgs boson (t()H+bl+νlbt(\uparrow)\to H^{+}b \to l^{+}\nu_{l}b). It is shown that the asymmetry or spin correlation coefficient of the charged lepton depends on the tanβ\tan\beta and MH±M_{H^{\pm}} and is quite different from the Standard Model. This sensitivity of asymmetry to tanβ\tan\beta and MH±M_{H^{\pm}} could be utilized in the experimental searches for the light charged Higgs for separation of the signal from backgrounds in the ttˉH+Wbbˉτ+ντ\lν\lˉbbˉt\bar{t}\to H^{+}W^{-}b\bar{b}\to\tau^{+}\nu_{\tau}\l^{-}\bar{\nu_{\l}}b\bar{b} (and vice versa). It might be useful for obtaining better bounds in the (tanβ,MH±\tan\beta,M_{H^{\pm}}) plane too.
