Abstract

We review the prospects of the Large Hadron Collider in accessing heavy charged Higgs boson signals in bbˉW±b\bar b W^\pm final states, wherein the contributing channels can be H+tbˉH^+\to t\bar b, hW±hW^\pm, HW±HW^\pm and AW±AW^\pm. 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 bgtHbg\to tH^- + c.c., the dominant one over the range MH±480M_{H^\pm}\ge 480 GeV, as dictated by bsγb\to s\gamma constraints. Possibilities of detection are found to be significant for various Run 2 energies and luminosities.
