Higgs decays into a charm and a strange quark or into a tau lepton and its associated neutrino are considered. The observed events are consistent with the expectations from Standard Model background processes. A lower limit of 65.5 GeV on the charged Higgs mass is derived at 95 % confidence level, independent of the decay branching ratio Br(H^{+/-} -> tau nu).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-09-25T11:59:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "collisions", "standard model background processes", "strange quark", "tau nu", "pair-produced charged higgs bosons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 507738 } } }
