Yukawa coupling corrections to the decay $H^{+}\to W^{+}{A}^0$

Abstract

We compute the fermionic radiative contributions to the decay $H^{+}\to W^{+(\ast )}{A}^0$ in the framework of models with two Higgs doublets (2HDM), for the case of an on-shell and off-shell W. We show that, in the majority of the cases, current measurements of the $\rho$ parameter suggest $M_{H^{\pm }}\ge M_A$ and such decays could invalidate current charged Higgs searches or aid detection in the region $M_{H^{\pm }}\approx M_W$. We find that the radiative corrections may approach 50% for small values of $\tan \beta$.
