Abstract

We study charged Higgs production in the process γγA0WH+\gamma\gamma\to A^0\to W^- H^+. The processes γγA0\gamma\gamma\to A^0 are loop mediated in a 2HDM. This is due to the fact that photons only couple directly to charged particles and the Higgs only couples to particles with mass acquired via Higgs mechanism. Although in MSSM the contribution from the process γγA0\gamma\gamma\to A^0 is too small, it has been found that in a more general 2HDM it could be enhanced. On the other hand, the boson A0A^0 can decay in WH+W^- H^+ at tree level and the charged Higgs can decay in fermions. So, the whole process under study is γγA0(Wlν)(H+fifj)\gamma\gamma\to A^0\to (W^-\to l\nu) (H^+\to f_if_j) in 2HDM-III. Evidence about charged Higgs existence could demonstrate that structure of the Higgs sector has several multiplets.
