Search for charged Higgs Bosons at D0

TL;DR

This paper reports a search for charged Higgs bosons using data from the D0 detector at Fermilab, finding no evidence and setting limits on their production and decay properties.

Contribution

First search for charged Higgs bosons at the Tevatron using D0 data, establishing experimental limits on their production cross section and branching fractions.

Findings

No evidence for charged Higgs bosons was observed.

Limits were set on the production cross section.

Constraints on the branching fraction were established.

Abstract

In both Supersymmetry and in generic Two Higgs Doublet models (2HDM), the charged Higgs boson $H^+- exhibits a unique phenomenological signature. We report on a search for charged Higgs bosons, performed using 0.9 fb^-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider with a center-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. No evidence for a charged Higgs boson is found and we set limits on its production cross section or the branching fraction.
