Quark-Loop Amplitudes for W^+- H^-+ Associated Hadroproduction
In this addendum to our paper entitled "W^+- H^-+ Associated Production at
the Large Hadron Collider" [Phys. Rev. D 59, 015009 (1999)], we list analytic
results for the helicity amplitudes of the partonic subprocess gg -> W^-H^+
induced by virtual quarks.Comment: 6 pages (Latex
Squark Loop Correction to W^{+-} H^{-+} Associated Hadroproduction
We study the squark loop correction to W^{+-} H^{-+} associated
hadroproduction via gluon-gluon fusion within the minimal supersymmetric
extension of the standard model. We list full analytic results and
quantitatively analyze the resulting shift in the cross section at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider assuming a supergravity-inspired scenario.Comment: 13 pages (Latex), 5 figures (Postscript
Pair production of neutral Higgs bosons at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We study the hadroproduction of two neutral Higgs bosons in the minimal
supersymmetric extension of the standard model, which provides a handle on the
trilinear Higgs couplings. We include the contributions from quark-antiquark
annihilation at the tree level and those from gluon-gluon fusion, which
proceeds via quark and squark loops. We list compact results for the tree-level
partonic cross sections and the squark loop amplitudes, and we confirm previous
results for the quark loop amplitudes. We quantitatively analyze the hadronic
cross sections at the CERN Large Hadron Collider assuming a favorable
supergravity-inspired scenario.Comment: 22 pages (Latex), 16 figures (Postscript). Discussion of theoretical

Electroweak Corrections to the Charged Higgs Boson Decay into Chargino and Neutralino
The electroweak corrections to the partial widths of the decays including one-loop
diagrams of the third generation quarks and squarks, are investigated within
the Supersymmetric Standard Model. The relative corrections can reach the
values about 10%, therefore they should be taken into account for the precise
experimental measurement at future colliders.Comment: 21 pages, 6 eps figures, 1 Latex fil
W^+- H^-+ Associated Production at the Large Hadron Collider
We study the production of a charged Higgs boson in association with a W
boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in the context of the minimal
supersymmetric extension of the standard model. This production mechanism is
particularly promising if the charged Higgs boson is too heavy to be generated
by top-quark decay. We compare the contributions due to b b-bar annihilation at
the tree level and gg fusion, which proceeds at one loop. Apart from the total
cross section, we also consider distributions in transverse momentum and
rapidity. We also assess the viability of W^+- H^-+ associated production at
the Fermilab Tevatron after the installation of the Main Injector and the
Recycler.Comment: 16 pages (Latex), 8 figures (Postscript
Production of Scalar Higgs Bosons Associated with Boson at the CERN LHC in the MSSM
We investigate the associated production of a scalar Higgs boson ( or
) with boson in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard
model (MSSM) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including the
contributions from annihilation at the tree level and gluon fusion
via quark and squark loops. We quantitatively analyze the total cross sections
in the mSUGRA scenario. For the production of associated with , we
find that in most of the parameter regions, the contributions from initial
and are at a level of one percent of the total cross section
and therefore almost insignificant. For the production of associated with
, the contributions from channel can be much larger than those
from light quark initial states. Especially for large , the
increment can reach about one order of magnitude. Thus, when considering the
associated production of and at the LHC, the contributions from
annihilation should be taken into account seriously.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, RevTeX4; one reference added, minor changes,

Charged Higgs Boson Production in Bottom-Gluon Fusion
We compute the complete next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections for the
associated production of a charged Higgs boson with a top quark via
bottom-gluon fusion. We investigate the applicability of the bottom parton
description in detail. The higher order corrections can be split into real and
virtual corrections for a general two Higgs doublet model and into additional
massive supersymmetric loop contributions. We find that the perturbative
behavior is well under control. The supersymmetric contributions consist of the
universal bottom Yukawa coupling corrections and non-factorizable diagrams.
Over most of the relevant supersymmetric parameter space the Yukawa coupling
corrections are sizeable, while the remaining supersymmetric loop contributions
are negligible.Comment: 18 pages, v2: some discussions added, v3: published versio
Supersymmetric Electroweak Corrections to Charged Higgs Boson Production in Association with a Top Quark at Hadron Colliders
We calculate the and supersymmetric electroweak corrections to the cross section
for the charged Higgs boson production in association with a top quark at the
Tevatron and the LHC. These corrections arise from the quantum effects which
are induced by potentially large Yukawa couplings from the Higgs sector and the
chargino-top(bottom)-sbottom(stop) couplings,
neutralino-top(bottom)-stop(sbottom) couplings and charged Higgs-stop-sbottom
couplings. They can decrease or increase the cross section depending on
but are not very sensitive to the mass of the charged Higgs boson
for high . At low the corrections decrease the total
cross sections significantly, which exceed -12% for below
at both the Tevatron and the LHC, but for the
corrections can become very small at the LHC. For high
these corrections can decrease or increase the total cross sections, and the
magnitude of the corrections are at most a few percent at both the Tevatron and
the LHC.Comment: 28 pages including 4 eps figure
Associated H W Production in High Energy Collisions
We study the associated production of charged Higgs bosons with gauge
bosons in high energy collisions at the one loop level. We present
the analytical results and give a detailed discussion for the total cross
section predicted in the context of a general Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM).Comment: Latex, 31 pages, 6 figures, cosmetically improved and one reference

Searching for Heavy Charged Higgs Boson with Jet Substructure at the LHC
We study the heavy charged Higgs boson (from 800 GeV to 1500 GeV in this
study) in production associated with a top quark at the LHC with the collision
energy TeV. Such a heavy charged Higgs boson can dominantly decay
into a top quark and a bottom quark due to its large Yukawa couplings, like in
MSSM. To suppress background events and to confirm the signal, we reconstruct
the mass bumps of the heavy charged Higgs boson and the associated top quark.
For this purpose, we propose a hybrid-R reconstruction method which utilizes
the top tagging technique, a jet substructure technique developed for highly
boosted massive particles. By using the full hadronic mode of as a test field, we find that this method can greatly reduce the
combinatorics in the full reconstruction and can successfully reduce background
events down to a controlled level. The sensitivity of LHC to the heavy charged
Higgs boson with two taggings is studied and a significance can
be achieved when .Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures, 7 tables; v2: some typos corrected and
