Abstract:
A search for pair production of doubly-charged Higgs bosons in the process p pbar to H++H-- to mu+mu+mu-mu- is performed with the D0 Run II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The analysis is based on a sample of inclusive di-muon data collected at an energy of sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 113 pb-1. In the absence of a signal, 95 % confidence level mass limits of M(H++L)>118.4 GeV/c2 and M(H++R)>98.2 GeV/c2 are set for left-handed and right-handed doubly-charged Higgs bosons, respectively, assuming 100% branching into muon pairs.
