The Standard Model
A Nayak, 09/08/2011 2
Standard Model is the most successful theory of particle physics
Most of the particles of SM have been discovered and their properties have been measured precisely
However, the Higgs boson (the fundamental ingredient of the model) is not yet discovered And there are also quite a few shortcomings.
Naturalness or fine-tunning problem The radiative correction to the Higgs mass squared diverges quadratically ( ~2, is cut of scale). In order to keep the Higgs mass in the range of electroweak symmetry breaking scale, an unnatural fine adjustment of parameters is needed.
Lack of Gauge Coupling UnificationElectromagnetic, weak and Strong interactions do not converge at certain energy scale
Dark matter problemSM particles only account for a small fraction of the matter observed in the universe

Supersymmetry
SUSY postulates a new symmetry between bosons and fermions
For each SM fermionic spin-½ field there is bosonic spin-0 partner with exactly the same gauge quantum numbers. Similarly, each SM spin-1 field has a SUSY spin-½ partner.
Loops of particles and their supersymmetric partners have the ability to cancel the quadratic divergences in the Higgs field self-couplings hence solving the Naturalness problem.
SUSY foresees unification of couplings atlarge energy scales ~ 1015 GeV
Provides candidates for Dark Matter (LSP)

MSSM Higgs Sector
The MSSM Higgs Sector
2 Higgs doublets, 5 physical bosons
3 neutral ( H and h with CP even; A with CP odd ) 2 charged (H±)
The observation of a charged Higgs boson will be an unambigous signature of new physics
Controlled by two parameters at tree level
tan(ratio between vacuum expectation values of the 2 Higgs fields) mA (mass of neutral CP-odd Higgs bosons)
Other parameters are important for radiative corrections
Here, we discuss only the search for a light charged Higgs boson in the decay of top quark.

Hadronic Tau Identification
A Nayak, 09/08/2011 8
• Tau decays To light leptons (e,μ) and 2 neutrinos with BR ~35% To hadrons(τh) and one neutrino with BR ~65 % Dominantly via π+/Κ+ ,ρ+ → π+π0 and a1 → π+π-π+(π+π0π0)
Particle Flow based Algorithm : ‐ Hadron + Strips (HPS) algorithm
• Decay mode Finding : Require there is a valid π,ρ,a1 combination (mass constraints on combination of particle candidates)• 3 possible isolation working points : Loose, medium, Tight depending on the cuts on particles in isolation cone
• Electron rejection : Low electron compatibility for leading charged hadron
• Muon rejection : Low muon compatibility for leading charged hadron

MVA method is used to apply tau fake probability to jets. k Nearest Neighbour (kNN) is trained with jets passing/failing the tau discriminators
closure test within uncertainty Contribution from real tau jets estimated from MC
The fake-tau background is estimated at “tau selection step”. In order to get the estimated fake-tau background at “OS selection step” an efficiency 0.66 +/- 0.04(estimated from MC) is applied.

Statistical Interpretation
A Nayak, 09/08/2011 32
A frequentist approach (CLs) is being used to obtain upper limit on BR(t-> bH+)
Define a likelihood ratio Q :
Run 105 toy expts to generate -2lnQ distributions for “background only” and “background + signal” hypothesis
Adjust “r” to get value of CLs = 0.05
“r” is signal strength modifier
33
Uncertainties on -fake background Upper limit on BR (t → H+b)
fully hadronic muon+tau electron+muon
95 % CL upper limit on BR(t→H+b) using CLs method.
The signal is modelled as the excess (or deficit) of events yields in presence of H+
