Abstract
The opposite states of the \ensuremath{\tau} polarization resulting from the charged Higgs boson and the W boson decays can be exploited to enhance the ${\mathit{H}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ signal in the inclusive one-prong hadronic decay channel of \ensuremath{\tau}. We suggest practical methods of sharpening up the ${\mathit{H}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ signature in the top quark decay at the CERN LHC using this idea. As a result one can carry on the charged Higgs boson search to within \ensuremath{\sim}20 GeV of the parent top quark mass over the full parameter space of the MSSM. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
