| contents | We investigate the discovery prospects of a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$)
at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the process
$cg\to bH^\pm \to bc\bar{b}$ within the framework of a general two Higgs
doublet model (G2HDM).
In most two Higgs doublet models, the $H^+ cb$ coupling ($g_{H^+cb}$)
is usually suppressed by the CKM matrix element $V_{cb}$.
In G2HDM, there are additional Yukawa couplings,
the process $cg\to bH^\pm \to bc\bar{b}$ is enhanced
by the coupling $g_{H^+cb} \simeq \rtc V_{tb}$
in both the production and decay of the charged Higgs boson.
We study possible physics backgrounds and evaluate the discovery
potential with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies at
collider energies of $\sqrt{s}=$13 and 14 TeV.
We apply $b$-tagging and $c$-tagging and show that $m_{H^+}$ can be
extracted by pairing the tagged $b$ and $c$-jets.
Our analysis leads to promising results for the current LHC and
expected high-luminosity LHC. |
