Low-mass fermiophobic charged Higgs phenomenology in two-Higgs-doublet models

Understand

After the recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson, the possibility of an enlarged scalar sector arises as a natural question.

• Experimental searches for charged scalars have been already performed with negative results.
• We analyze the phenomenology associated with a fermiophobic charged Higgs (it does not couple to fermions at tree level), in two-Higgs-doublet models.
• All present experimental bounds are evaded trivially in this case, and one needs to consider other decay and production channels.
