Charged-Higgs- andR-parity violating slepton-strahlung at hadron colliders

It is shown that the radiation of a charged Higgs boson off a third-generation quark (charged-Higgs-strahlung) provides an important channel for the discovery of the charged Higgs boson at hadron colliders. Equivalently, in supersymmetric models with explicit lepton-number $(R$-parity) violation, sleptons may also be produced in association with quarks (slepton-strahlung). Higgs- and slepton-strahlung production cross sections are given for both the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC cross sections imply that heavy $O\left(\mathrm{TeV}\right)$ charged Higgs bosons can be produced via charged-Higgs-strahlung and that strahlung production of charged sleptons is possible even for small R-parity violating couplings. The possible discovery of sleptons through this channel offers a surprising handle on models of neutrino masses.
