Top quark polarization as a probe of charged Higgs bosons
Top quark polarization as a probe of charged Higgs bosons
We study the production and decay of a heavy charged Higgs boson in the $bg\ensuremath{\rightarrow}t{H}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${H}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}b\overline{t}$ processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that the chiral structure of the ${H}^{\ensuremath{-}}t\overline{b}$ vertex entering both stages is sensitive to the underlying Higgs mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and …
