Prospects for 2HDM charged Higgs searches

Abstract

We discuss the prospects for charged Higgs boson searches at the LHC, within the two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM). The 2HDM is generally less constrained than the corresponding sector of the MSSM, but there are still severe theoretical and experimental constraints that already exclude significant regions of the naive parameter space. Explicit searches in the $H^+\to\tau^+\nu$ and $H^+\to t\bar b$ channels are further restricting parts of the 2HDM parameter space.
