Abstract

Assuming two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) at SM-like scenario as the theoretical framework, this study addresses the question of observability of heavy neutral CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons HH and AA at a linear collider operating at s=1\sqrt{s}=1 TeV. The signal production channel is ee+AHZHHe^- e^+ \rightarrow A H \rightarrow ZHH with subsequent leptonic decay of the ZZ boson and Higgs bosons decays into bb quark pairs. Therefore, to be specific, type-I 2HDM is used to allow dominant Higgs boson decay to b-quark pairs below the top quark pair production threshold. Two benchmark points with mass ranges 150mH200150\leq m_H\leq 200 and 250mA300250\leq m_A\leq 300 are simulated. The relevant energy and momentum smearing is applied and appropriate selection cuts are imposed to enrich signal events. Results indicate that both Higgs bosons are observable with signals exceeding 5σ5\sigma significance with possibility of mass measurement at the integrated luminosity of 500 fb1fb^{-1}.
