Description

I present theoretical results for charged Higgs production in association with a W boson via bottom quark annihilation at the LHC. I calculate higher-order radiative corrections from collinear and soft gluon emission and show that they are very significant. I present results for total cross sections as well as transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions of the charged Higgs boson for various LHC energies.
