Abstract

The data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 188.6 GeV by ALEPH at LEP, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 176.2 pb^-1, are analysed in a search for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons H(±). Three analyses are employed to select the τ⁺v(τ)τ^-v̄(τ), cs̄τ^-v̄(τ) and cs̄sc̄ fina l states. No evidence for a signal is found. Upper limits are set on the production cross section as a function of the branching fraction B(H⁺ → τ⁺v(τ)) and of the mass m(H±), assuming that the sum of the branching ratios is equal to one. In the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model, charged Higgs bosons with masses below 65.4 GeV/c² are excluded at 95% confidence level independently of the decay mode.

N2 - The data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 188.6 GeV by ALEPH at LEP, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 176.2 pb-1, are analysed in a search for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons H(±). Three analyses are employed to select the τ+v(τ)τ-v̄(τ), cs̄τ-v̄(τ) and cs̄sc̄ fina l states. No evidence for a signal is found. Upper limits are set on the production cross section as a function of the branching fraction B(H+ → τ+v(τ)) and of the mass m(H±), assuming that the sum of the branching ratios is equal to one. In the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model, charged Higgs bosons with masses below 65.4 GeV/c2 are excluded at 95% confidence level independently of the decay mode.
