abstract

A search for a light charged Higgs boson produced in decays of the top quark, $t \to H^\pm b$ with $H^\pm \to cs$, is presented. This search targets the production of top-quark pairs $t\bar{t} \to Wb H^\pm b$, with $W \to \ell\nu$ ($\ell = e, \mu$), resulting in a lepton-plus-jets final state characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. The search exploits $b$-quark and $c$-quark identification techniques as well as multivariate methods to suppress the dominant $t\bar{t}$ background. The data analysed correspond to 140 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC between 2015 and 2018. Observed (expected) 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching fraction $\mathscr{B}(t\to H^\pm b)$, assuming $\mathscr{B}(t\to Wb) + \mathscr{B}(t \to H^\pm (\to cs)b)=1.0$, are set between 0.066% (0.077%) and 3.6% (2.3%) for a charged Higgs boson with a mass between 60 GeV and 168 GeV.

  1. Searching for charged Higgs bosons via $e^+ e^- \to H^\pm W^\mp S$ at the ILC

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A detector-level Monte Carlo study shows that e+e- -> H± W∓ S in the type-X 2HDM could be discovered at the ILC with 500 GeV and 500 fb^-1.

  2. Charged Higgs Search at Future Neutrino Telescope and Higgs Factory

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Future lepton colliders can discover a charged Higgs below about half their energy, while multi-cubic-kilometer neutrino telescopes add complementary reach for heavier charged Higgs masses.

  3. Probing one-loop--induced decay channel $H^\pm \to W^\pm\gamma$ in the Two Higgs Doublet Models at muon-TeV colliders

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Fermionic decay of light charged pseudoscalar in Georgi Machacek model

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining the cs and tau-nu charged-Higgs channels from ATLAS and CMS, the author obtains a tighter upper limit on the triplet vev v2 for GM-model pseudoscalar masses below 160 GeV than the earlier b→sγ constraint.
