Description

We study the prospect of discovering a rare $t \to c h^0$ decay in the top pair production channel at LHC. We follow a general two Higgs doublet model framework to investigate this signature, with Higgs decaying into $\tau \tau$ and another top decaying hadronically to a b quark and two light jets. We search for the following final states $b j j \ell^+ \ell^- + MET$ and $b j j \ell^{\pm} \tau_h + MET$, where $\tau_h$ refers to jets coming from $\tau$ decay. We present our Monte Carlo analysis using Delphes. We use boosted decision trees for discrimination at current and Future HL-LHC and HE-LHC.
