Description
After the discovery of a SM-like Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV at LHC, the discovery of another scalar boson, neutral or charged, would represent unambigous evidence for the presence of physics beyond the SM. Charged Higgs bosons are predicted in models consisting of at least two Higgs doublets, resulting in at least five physical Higgs bosons: the light and heavy CP-even Higgs bosons h and H, the CP-odd Higgs boson A, plus two charged Higgs bosons H+/-. This seminar will focus on recent results for the search of a charged Higgs boson in pp collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC
