A technique is presented to measure the efficiency with which c-jets are mistagged as b-jets (mistagging efficiency) using t ¯t events, where one of theW bosons decays into an electron or muon and a neutrino and the other decays into a quark–antiquark pair. The measurement utilises the relatively large and known W → cs branching ratio, which allows ameasurement to be made in an inclusive c-jet sample. The data ...
A search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark is presented. The data analysed correspond to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at p s = 13TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The production of a heavy charged Higgs boson in association with a top quark and a bottom quark, pp ! tbH+ ! tbtb, is explored in the H+ mass range from 200 to 2000 GeV using final states wi...
