Description

In this work, we investigate the production of charged Higgs boson via $pp \to H^\pm h$ at the LHC in the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-I. By focusing on the case where $H$ is identified as the observed Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV, we study the aforementioned Higgs boson production channel and explore their bosonic decays, namely $H^\pm \to W^\pm h$ and $H^\pm \to W^\pm A$, which can reach a sizeable Branching Ratio (BR) and often dominate over the fermionic decays in the theoretically and experimentally viable parameter space. In this regard, we demonstrate that the production process $pp \to H^\pm h$ followed by $H^\pm \to W^\pm h$ and/or $H^\pm \to W^\pm A$ could well be the most promising discovery channel for light $H^\pm$ at the LHC.
