The reach for charged Higgs bosons with boosted bottom and boosted top jets
ORAL
Abstract
At moderate values of $\tan(\beta)$, a supersymmetric charged Higgs boson $H^\pm$ is expected to be difficult to find due its small cross section and large backgrounds. Using the new $\mu_x$ boosted bottom jet tag, and measured boosted top tagging rates from the CERN LHC, we examine the reach for TeV-scale charged Higgs bosons at 14 TeV and 100 TeV colliders in top-Higgs associated production, where the charged Higgs decays to a boosted top and bottom quark pair. We conclude that the cross section for charged Higgs bosons is indeed too small to observe at the LHC in the moderate $\tan(\beta)$ "wedge region," but it will be possible to probe charged Higgs bosons at nearly all $\tan(\beta)$ up to 6 TeV at a 100 TeV collider.
