Description

In a variety of well motivated models, such as two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) and supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SSM), there are additional neutral Higgs bosons. The $\tau \tau$ channel is the preferred mode for discovering such scalars at the LHC. However many of these models can have a suppressed $\tau \tau$ coupling and hence alternative discovery modes are required. In this talk, I will discuss two possible modes for searching for such neutral scalars. I will discuss the prospects of observing such scalars in the 3b and $H\to Z A$ channels at the LHC and compare our projections to the present LHC limits.
