Search for a heavy charged Higgs boson in Run-2 — •Francesco Peri, Heiko Lacker, and Janet Dietrich — Humboldt University of Berlin

Charged Higgs bosons (H^±) are predicted by many Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) scenarios, like the MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model). The production mechanisms and decays of such particles strongly depend on their mass. This presentation focuses on heavy charged Higgs bosons, with a mass larger than the top-quark mass. In this case, the dominant production mode is in association with a top quark, while the decay is into a top-bottom pair. The latest developments from the ATLAS collaboration are hereby discussed, presenting the results obtained during Run-2 and including prospectives for the future.
