Abstract

In this paper the charged Higgs signal through triple or double Higgs production in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) type II is studied. The main production process is e+e- →H+H-H0 followed by the charged Higgs decay to a pair of τν and the neutral Higgs decay to [Formula: see text]. The alternative process H+W-H0 is also included as a source of charged Higgs signal in the analysis. The focus is on a future e+e- linear collider operating at [Formula: see text]. The final state under consideration [Formula: see text] is suitable for electroweak background rejection using the b-tagging tools. It is shown that although the signal cross-section is small, with a reasonable background suppression, high signal significance values are achievable at an integrated luminosity 500 fb-1 depending on the charged Higgs mass, tan β and the CP-odd neutral Higgs mass. Finally results are quoted in terms of the signal significance for charged Higgs in the mass range 160 < mH± < 400 GeV .
