Abstract

In this work, we present a search strategy for heavy charged Higgs boson at Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) as a future e+ee^+e^- collider. The signal is charged Higgs boson pair production in two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) followed by H±W±HH^{\pm}\to W^{\pm}H and HbbˉH\to b\bar{b}. Here, HH denotes the heavy CP-even neutral Higgs boson of the model. The collider center of mass energy is chosen to be s=1400\sqrt{s}=1400 GeV as the second stage of CLIC operation. In this case, mH+<s/2m_{H^+}<\sqrt{s}/2 can be explored due to the pair production. It is shown that the signal of charged Higgs in the mass range 250 GeV <mH+<<m_{H^+}< 650 GeV in fully hadronic final state, containing four bb-jets from neutral Higgs and four jets from WW bosons, can well be observed on top of the standard model background. Finally 5σ\sigma contours are presented in (mH±m_{H^{\pm}}, mHm_H) space for different tanβ\tan\beta values.
