Abstract

Extending the Higgs sector by an additional SU(2)LSU(2)_L doublet Higgs boson implies the existence of a charged Higgs boson H+H^+. The LHC experiments search for such particle focusing on it decays into leptonic and quark decay final states, namely τν\tau \nu,cscs and tbtb. However, if the Higgs sector if further extended, e.g. by a gauge singlet as in the NMSSM, the charged Higgs boson can also decay into a light scalar or pseudoscalar Higgs boson which itself decays further into a two photon final state. We present here scenarios where H+H^+ is produced in top-quark decays with a sizable cross-section such the corresponding signal is well above the Standard Model background at the 13 TeV run of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with an integrated luminosity 100 fb1^{-1}.
