abstract

A search for a charged Higgs boson, $H^{\pm}$, produced in top-quark decays, $t \rightarrow H^{\pm}b$, is presented. The search targets $H^{\pm}$ decays into a bottom and a charm quark, $H^{\pm} \rightarrow cb$. The analysis focuses on a selection enriched in top-quark pair production, where one top quark decays into a leptonically decaying $W$ boson and a bottom quark, and the other top quark decays into a charged Higgs boson and a bottom quark. This topology leads to a lepton-plus-jets final state, characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. The search exploits the high multiplicity of jets containing $b$-hadrons, and deploys a neural network classifier that uses the kinematic differences between the signal and the background. The search uses a dataset of proton-proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV between 2015 and 2018 with the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, amounting to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. Observed (expected) 95% confidence-level upper limits between 0.15% (0.09%) and 0.42% (0.25%) are derived for the product of branching fractions $\mathscr{B}(t\rightarrow H^{\pm}b) \times \mathscr{B}(H^{\pm}\rightarrow cb)$ for charged Higgs boson masses between 60 and 160 GeV, assuming the SM production of the top-quark pairs.

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A roughly 130 GeV charged Higgs explaining the ATLAS t to bH+ excess and B-meson anomalies can be constrained, and perhaps discovered, by recasting SM di-Higgs 4b searches at the LHC.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Z3-flavored two-Higgs-doublet model admits benchmark points with enhanced H±→cb decay that match the ATLAS 130 GeV excess and could be probed at the LHeC.

    The one-loop decay H±→W±γ is re-derived in the general Rξ gauge and used to predict that a 3 TeV muon collider could see a charged Higgs signal, though the conclusion reports only 2 sigma for several benchmarks.

    The thesis projects 5-sigma discovery reaches at the HL-LHC for charged Higgs pairs, Flavon decays, and h->eµ, using BDT-based event selection in the 2HDM-III and Froggatt-Nielsen models.
