Abstract
A charged Higgs in the type II two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM) has been bounded to be above a few hundred GeV by the radiative B decays. A Higgs triplet extension of the THDM not only provides an origin of neutrino masses and a completely new doubly-charged Higgs decay pattern, but it also achieves a light-charged Higgs with a mass of O(100)GeV through the new scalar couplings in the scalar potential. It was found that these light-charged Higgs decays depend on its mass mH±, tanâ¡Î², and mixing effect sinâ¡Î¸Â±: at tanâ¡Î²=1, if mH±>mW+mZ, b¯bW±, W±Z, and Ïν are the main decay modes; however, if mH±mH±+mb, we found that the ATLAS and CMS recent upper bounds on the product of BR(tâH+b)BR(H+âÏ+ν) can be directly applied and will give a strict constraint on the correlation of mH± and sinâ¡Î¸Â±. If the upper bound of BR(tâH+b)BR(H+âÏ+ν) is satisfied (escaped) for mt>(<)mH±+mb, it was found that the significance of discovering the charged Higgs through H±âW±Z is much lower than that through H±âb¯bW±. With a luminosity of 100fbâ1 at s=13TeV and including the experimental bounds, the significance of the H±âb¯bW± signal can reach around 6.2(2.4)Ï for mH±<(>)mW+mZ.
