In light of the recent discovery of a neutral Higgs boson, $H_{\rm obs}$, with a mass near 125 GeV, we reassess the LHC discovery potential of a charged Higgs boson, $H^\pm$, in the $W^\pm H_{\rm obs}$ decay channel. This decay channel can…

The latest LHC collaborations results on $\sigma_{H^{\pm}}BR(H^{\pm} \rightarrow \tau^{\pm}\nu)$ and $\sigma_{H^{\pm}}BR(H^{+} \rightarrow t\bar{b})$ are used to impose constraints on the charged Higgs $H^{\pm}$ parameters within the Two…
Current searches for the charged Higgs at the LHC focus only on the $\tau\nu$, $cs$, and $tb$ final states. Instead, we consider the process $pp\to \Phi\to W^\pm H^\mp \to W^+ W^- A$ where $\Phi$ is a heavy neutral Higgs boson, $H^\pm$ is a…
