Charged Higgs boson searches at the LHC via multiple bb¯W± final states

Abstract

We review the prospects of the Large Hadron Collider in accessing heavy charged Higgs boson signals in bb¯W± final states, wherein the contributing channels can be H⁺→tb¯, hW±, HW± and AW±. In particular, we devise a selection strategy which optimizes their global yield. We consider a 2-Higgs Doublet Model Type-II and we assume as production mode bg→tH⁻ + c.c., the dominant one over the range MH±≥480 GeV, as dictated by b→sγ constraints. Possibilities of detection are found to be significant for various Run 2 energies and luminosities.
