Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders

In view of the ongoing experimental programme at the LHC, a four day workshop on the theme “Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders” was organized in Uppsala, Sweden, 8-11 October 2012. This was the fourth workshop of this kind -- the first three were held in September 2006, 2008 and 2010 in Uppsala. At the time of the workshop, the LHC has been in operation for about six months in 2012 and about 15 inverse femtobarns have been collected by the experiments. This has allowed to search for signs of new physics, with implications for the charged Higgs sector. Moreover, new theoretical and phenomenological ideas concerning charged Higgs bosons have been developed since the last workshop in 2010. The plan of this fourth workshop was to bring together experimentalists and theorists to review the development, since the third workshop, of charged Higgs searches at colliders, as well as theory/phenomenology and generator level simulation and strategies for experimental data analysis. New results in these fields were presented and discussed at the workshop.
