Abstract

We review motivation for a light charged Higgs scenario that occurs in a class of models with a light CP-odd Higgs boson. If the light CP-odd Higgs is doublet-like the charged Higgs is typically lighter than the top quark and it dominantly decays into W^± A with B(H⁺ → W⁺ A) > 70%. We summarize experimental constraints from direct searches and discuss search strategies based on subleading decay modes of the CP-odd Higgs. A search for t → H⁺ b, H⁺ → W⁺ A, A → μ⁺ μ^- could provide an evidence for the charged Higgs or a discovery already with 1 fb^-1 of data at the LHC.
