Abstract

We review the prospects of the Large Hadron Collider in accessing heavy\ncharged Higgs boson signals in b b W^\± final states, wherein the\ncontributing channels can be H⁺\→ t b, hW^\±, HW^\± and AW^\±.\nIn particular, we devise a selection strategy which optimizes their global\nyield. We consider a 2-Higgs Doublet Model Type-II and we assume as production\nmode bg\→ tH^- + c.c., the dominant one over the range M_H^\±\≥ 480\nGeV, as dictated by b\→ s\γ constraints. Possibilities of detection are\nfound to be significant for various Run 2 energies and luminosities.\n
