Discovery Reach of Charged MSSM Higgs Bosons at CMS
arXiv:0809.2396 · doi:10.1063/1.3051909
Abstract
We review the 5 sigma discovery contours for the charged MSSM Higgs boson at the CMS experiment with 30/fb for the two cases M_H+ < m_t and M_H+ > m_t. In order to analyze the search reach we combine the latest results for the CMS experimental sensitivities based on full simulation studies with state-of-the-art theoretical predictions of MSSM Higgs-boson production and decay properties. Special emphasis is put on the SUSY parameter dependence of the 5 sigma contours. The variation of $μ$ can shift the prospective discovery reach in tan_beta by up to Delta tan_beta = 40.
