Abstract

We compute the cross section for pair production of charged Higgs bosons at the LHC and compare the three production mechanisms. The bottom-parton scattering process is computed to next-to-leading order (NLO), and the validity of the bottom-parton approach is established in detail. The light-flavor Drell-Yan cross section is evaluated at NLO as well. The gluon-fusion process through a one-loop amplitude is then compared with these two results. We show how a complete sample of events could look, in terms of total cross sections and distributions of the heavy final states.

  32. Note that this β has nothing to do with tanβ, it is defined as β=1−4mH2/s^. Since both definitions are very common and there is little chance to confuse them we prefer to stick to this notation.
