Description
The discovery of a charged-Higgs-boson would be a clear signal for physics beyond the
Standard Model. In the usual LHC channels we only have realistic chances for such a
discovery if the bottom-Yukawa coupling is enhanced. Supersymmetric flavor physics in
general predicts squark mixing which can significantly change the pattern of
charged-Higgs production and circumvent the chiral suppression for single Higgs
production. The most severe constraints to these squark mixing parameters come from B
physics.
We evaluate the discovery potential of charged Higgs production in the light of
supersymmetric flavor physics, in the single-Higgs production channel and in
association with a hard jet.
