Abstract
In this contribution, the likelihood of seeing charged Higgs and $W$ boson production in the context of 2HDMs type-I and type-X at the LHC is examined, assuming that either $h$ or $H$ resembles the detected resonance around $\sim 125$ GeV. We consider the possibility of the charged Higgs boson decays channels through $H^\pm \to W^\pm h_i / A$, focusing on the $b\bar{b}$ and $\tau\tau$ decays of $h_i$ and $A$. In both type-I and type-X insights of the 2HDMs, we investigate the potential fingerprints resulting from the previously mentioned charged Higgs production and decay. We find in our study that these signatures can have sizable rates at low $\tan\beta$ as long as the condition $M_{H^\pm} < m_t - m_b$ is met. As a result, we propose the $bb$ and $\tau\tau$ final states associated with $WW$ as an encouraging experimental avenue that would complement the LHC search for a charged Higgs boson.
