Abstract:
A search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark-antiquark pair in the fully hadronic final state is presented. The analysis uses LHC proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 at , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . No significant deviation above the expected background is observed. Model-independent upper limits at confidence level are set on the charged Higgs boson production cross section times branching fraction in two scenarios. For production in association with a top quark, limits of 21.3 to are calculated for charged boson masses in the range to . Combination with data from a search in the leptonic final states results in improved limits of 9.25 to . The complementary s-channel production of a charged Higgs boson is investigated in the mass range to and the corresponding upper limits are 4.5 to . These results are interpreted in different minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model.Note:
