Pair production of charged scalars and lepton flavor violating signals in the littlest Higgs model at $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders

TL;DR

This paper investigates the production of charged scalars in the littlest Higgs model at high-energy electron-positron colliders, demonstrating potential observability of lepton flavor violation signals with minimal background interference.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of charged scalar pair production rates and lepton flavor violating signals within the littlest Higgs model at $e^+e^-$ colliders.

Findings

Charged scalar pairs are producible at colliders with energies above 1.7 TeV.

Lepton flavor violation signals can be observed with negligible background.

Production rates depend on the model parameters and collider energy.

Abstract

In this work pair productions of charged and doubly charged scalars in the framework of littlest Higgs model at $e^+e^-$ colliders are studied. In the allowed parameter space of the littlest Higgs model, the production rates of the scalar pairs are calculated. It is obtained that pair productions of charged and doubly charged scalars are reachable at $e^+ e^-$ colliders with energy $\sqrt{S}\geq 1.7TeV$. Using the lepton flavor violating decays of charged scalars calculated in literature, final state analysis is done for pair production processes. This analysis show that depending on the model parameters, lepton number and lepton flavor violations can be observed free from any backgrounds.
