Abstract

A search for charged Higgs bosons produced in pairs is performed with data collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV by ALEPH at LEP, corresponding to a total luminosity of 629 pb-1. The three final states τ+νττ -ν̄τ, cs̄τ-ντ and cs̄sc̄ are considered. No evidence for a signal is found and lower limits are set on the mass mH± as a function of the branching fraction B(H+ ↔ τ+ ντ). In the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model, and assuming B(H+ ↔ τ+ ντ) + B(H+ ↔ cs̄) = 1, charged Higgs bosons with masses below 79.3 GeV/c2 are excluded at 95% confidence level independently of the branching ratios. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
