Associated production of<i>CP</i>-odd and charged Higgs bosons at hadron colliders
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the masses of the charged Higgs boson ${(H}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}})$ and the CP-odd scalar (A) are related by ${M}_{{H}^{+}}^{2}{=M}_{A}^{2}{+m}_{W}^{2}$ at the Born level. Because the coupling of ${W}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{-}A\ensuremath{-}{H}^{+}$ is fixed by the gauge interaction, the Born level production rate of $q{q}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}*}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{AH}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ depends on only one …
