Three analyses are employed to select the taunutaunu, taunucs and cscs final states. No evidence for a signal is found. Upper limits are set on the production cross section as a function of the branching fraction BR(H+ to tau nu) and of the mass M(H+), assuming that the sum of the branching ratios is equal to one. In the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model, charged Higgs bosons with masses below 65.4 GeV/c2 are excluded at 95% confidence level independently of the decay mode.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-08-03T13:41:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "collisions", "cscs final states", "production cross section", "centre-of-mass energies", "pair-produced charged higgs bosons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 530950 } } }
