Abstract

The exotic decay modes of non-Standard Model Higgses can serve as powerful search channels to explore the parameter space of extended Higgs sectors. In this Snowmass contribution, we illustrate this using the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) as an example. We first review the current experimental constraints on the parameter space of a Type-II 2HDM arising from existing searches for the exotic Higgs decay mode A/HHZ/AZA/H\rightarrow HZ/AZ. We then present the sensitivity of future colliders to discover addition Higgs bosons using the exotic decay channels AHZA\rightarrow HZ, AH±WA\rightarrow H^\pm W^\mp and H±HW±H^\pm\rightarrow H W^\pm. We find that a 100 TeV collider can probe almost the entire region of the Type-II 2HDM parameter space that survives current theoretical and experimental constraints and would therefore be an ideal machine to search for heavier Higgses in hierarchical scalar sectors.
