Probing the two Higgs doublet wedge region with charged Higgs boson decays to boosted jets

Abstract

Two Higgs doublet extensions of the standard model, such as supersymmetry, predict the existence of charged Higgs bosons. We explore the reach for TeV-scale charged Higgs bosons through their associated production with top quarks, and their decay to boosted top jets and ${\mu }_x$ tagged boosted bottom jets, at a 14 TeV CERN Large Hadron Collider and at a 100 TeV Future Circular Collider. In particular, we show the moderate $\tan \beta$ "wedge" region of parameter space cannot be probed at the Large Hadron Collider for TeV-scale $H^{\pm }$ because the cross section is too small. However, a 100 TeV future proton collider can close the wedge region below 2 TeV, and search for $H^{\pm }$ up to 6 TeV.
