Abstract

In this study the charged Higgs signal through triple or double Higgs production in a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is investigated. The main production process is e+eH+HH0e^+e^- \rightarrow H^+H^-H^0 followed by the charged Higgs decay to a pair of τν\tau \nu and the neutral Higgs decay to bbˉb\bar{b}. The alternative process H+WH0H^+W^-H^0 is also included as a source of charged Higgs signal in the analysis having comparable cross-section. The focus is on a future e+ee^+e^- linear collider operating at s=1.5\sqrt{s}=1.5 TeV. The final state under consideration (τ+τbbˉETmiss\tau^+ \tau^- b \bar{b} E^{\textnormal{miss}}_{T}) is suitable for electroweak background rejection using the bb-tagging tools. It is shown that although the signal cross section is small, with a reasonable background suppression, high signal significance values are achievable at an integrated luminosity 500fb1500 fb^{-1} depending on the charged Higgs mass, tanβ \tan\beta~ and the CP-odd neutral Higgs mass. Finally results are quoted in terms of the signal significance for charged Higgs in the mass range 170<mH±<400170<m_{H^{\pm}}<400 GeV.
