Contribution
It introduces updated benchmarks for charged Higgs searches within the CP-violating type-II 2HDM framework, enhancing experimental search strategies.
Findings
Updated interpretation of the 125 GeV Higgs as the lightest 2HDM scalar.
Proposed new benchmarks for charged Higgs boson detection channels.
Highlighting the exclusion of the Standard Model if a charged Higgs is observed.
Abstract
We review and update the interpretation of the 125 GeV scalar as the lightest Higgs boson of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, allowing for CP violation in the potential. The detection of a charged Higgs boson would exclude the Standard Model. Proposed benchmarks for charged-Higgs searches in the channel pp\to H^+W^-X\to W^+W^-H_1X are reviewed and updated.
