Description
We study the production of the CP-odd Higgs pseudoscalar (A0) and heavier CP-even Higgs scalar (H0) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model associated with a single b quark at the LHC. Specifically we investigate the discovery potential of the di-tau decay channel of A0/H0 followed by an opposite flavor leptonic decay of the taus, i.e. b g -> b A0/H0 -> b tau+ tau- -> b e+- mu-+. The physics background consists of p p -> b/j ta+ ta-, p p -> j/b w+ w- and p p -> jj/bb~ w+ w- where w's decay leptonically into opposite flavor e/mu final states directly or through taus. Furthermore, We present the LHC discovery regions in the (m_A,tan(beta)) plane.
