Three analyses are employed to select the tau^+ nu_tau tau^- nubar_tau, c sbar tau^- nubar_tau/ cbar s tau^+ nu_tau and c sbar s cbar final states. No evidence for a signal is found. Mass limits are set as a function of the branching fraction B(H+ -> tau^+ nu_tau). Under the assumption that the decay modes considered cover the totality of the possible final states, charged Higgs bosons with masses below 59 GeV/c^2 are excluded at 95% C.L. independently of B(H+ -> tau^+ nu_tau).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-02-24T13:06:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "collisions", "cbar final states", "centre-of-mass energies", "decay modes", "pair-produced charged higgs bosons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 495411 } } }
