Simultaneous search for two Higgs bosons of minimal supersymmetry at the CERN LHC

The prospects of detecting the CP-odd Higgs pseudoscalar (A) in the minimal supersymmetric model via its decay into a Z boson and the lighter CP-even Higgs scalar (h) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are investigated. The final state of Z --> l(+)l(-) and h --> <b(b)over bar> may provide a promising way to simultaneously detect the A and the h. The compact muon solenoid detector performance is adopted for a realistic study of observability. In this discovery channel, the masses of the h and the A can be reconstructed. The impact of supersymmetric decay modes is considered.
