Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders

The second international workshop "Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders" was organized in Uppsala 16-19 September 2008, following the first workshop under the same heading held two years earlier also in Uppsala. The 2008 workshop was organized primarily in view of the upcoming experimental program at the LHC. The plan with this workshop was to bring together theorists and experimentalists to review the development, since the first workshop, of charged Higgs searches at colliders, in particular with regard to theory, phenomenology and Monte Carlo generators as well as to strategies for experimental datasimulation, for triggers and for data analysis in the various experiments. New results in these fields were presented in invited and contributed talks to the workshop and discussed in special break-out sessions. Special emphasis was placed on the potential for charged Higgs discovery at the LHC."
