Description

Most of the current experimental searches for charged Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) concentrate upon the $tb$ and $\tau\nu$ decay channels. In this study, we analyze the feasibility of the bosonic decay channel $W^{\pm (*)} h$ instead, with the charged gauge boson being either on-shell or off-shell and $h$ being a neutral light Higgs boson. Focusing on the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), we consider the associated production of a charged Higgs with such a light neutral one, $pp\to H^\pm h$, at the LHC followed by the aforementioned charged Higgs boson decay, which leads to various signatures. We specifically study the $W^{\pm (*)}+ 4b/4\gamma$ final states and provide several Benchmark Points (BPs) for Monte Carlo (MC) analysis. We prove that there is a strong possibility that these signals could be found at the LHC with the centre of mass energy of 14 TeV and luminosity of 300 $\rm{fb}^{-1}$.
