Prospects of Detecting Massive Charged Higgs from Hadronic Decay H -> tb in CMS

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

The possibility to detect the massive charged Higgs boson H using the hadronic decay channel H -> tb in the associated production pp -> tH + X in the CMS experiment at LHC is studied. There is a large background from ttbb events which makes the observation difficult. Detection of a Higgs signal in this channel requires an excellent b-tagging performance. Good calorimeter mass resolution is also necessary for the full event reconstruction.
