Abstract

We analyze the prospects of reconstructing the mass of a heavy charged Higgs boson %have been analyzed in the context of a Type X two-Higgs doublet model where a light pseudoscalar AA in the mass range 406040-60 GeV is phenomenologically allowed, and is in fact favoured if one wants to explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The associated production of charged Higgs with the pseudoscalar AA and subsequent decay of the charged Higgs into a WW and AA, is found to be our relevant channel. The branching ratio for H+W+AH^+ \to W^+ A with MH+200M_{H^+} \sim 200 GeV, is close to 50\%. The hadronic decay of the WW boson, coupled with the leptonic decays of AA into a tau and muon pair, help in identifying the charged Higgs. The neutral heavy Higgs, being degenerate with the charged Higgs for most of the allowed parameter space of the model, also contributes to similar final states. Thus both of these particles are reconstructed within a band of about 10 GeV.
