| dc.description | We investigate the prospects for the discovery of neutral Higgs bosons with a pair of muons by direct searches at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as well as by indirect searches in the rare decay $B_s \to μ^+μ^-$ at the Fermilab Tevatron and the LHC. Promising results are found for the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model, and supergravity models with non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM SUGRA). For $\tanβ\simeq 50$, we find that (i) the contours for a branching fraction of $B(B_s \to μ^+μ^-) = 1 \times 10^{-8}$ in the parameter space are very close to the $5σ$ contours for $pp \to bϕ^0 \to bμ^+μ^- +X, ϕ^0 = h^0, H^0, A^0$ at the LHC with an integrated luminosity ($L$) of 30 fb$^{-1}$, (ii) the regions covered by $B(B_s \to μ^+μ^-) \ge 5\times 10^{-9}$ and the discovery region for $bϕ^0 \to bμ^+μ^-$ with 300 fb$^{-1}$ are complementary in the mSUGRA parameter space, (iii) in NUHM SUGRA models, a discovery of $B(B_s \to μ^+μ^-) \simeq 5\times 10^{-9}$ at the LHC will cover regions of the parameter space beyond the direct search for $bϕ^0 \to bμ^+μ^-$ with $L = 300$ fb$^{-1}$. | |
