A simple cut requiring this fraction to be 0.8 retains most of the p e Pτ =+1 τ -jet signal while suppressing the Pτ =-1 τ -jet background and practically eliminating the fake τ background. This h can be utilized to extract the charged Higgs signal. It can be also utilized to extract the SUSY signal in the stau NLSP region [ , and in particular the stau co-annihilaton region. 1 v 8 1. Introduction briefly introduces the SUSY search programme at LHC 3 via SUSY as well as SUSY Higgs(and in particular H ±) 4 It is easy to measure τ polarization Pτ as it is re- signals.
