Description
In the framework of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), we investigate the scope of the LHC in accessing the processes $H \to hh \to 2b2\tau, 2b2\gamma$ and $pp \to Z^{*} \to hA \to 4\tau$ by performing a Monte Carlo (MC) analysis aimed at extracting these signals from the Standard Model (SM) backgrounds, in the presence of a dedicated trigger choice and kinematical selection. We prove that some sensitivity to such channels exists already at Run 3 of the LHC while the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be able to either confirm or disprove these theoretical scenarios over sizable regions of the 2HDM parameter space.
