Abstract
We investigate the potential for future TeV linear e+e- colliders to observe singly charged Higgs bosons (H±) via the coupling H±WZ, which would signal the existence of exotic Higgs representations. In the context of a Higgs-triplet model compatible with the electroweak oblique parameters, we estimate the cross section for producing charged Higgs-triplet bosons that couple predominantly to W and Z bosons in 0.5-2 TeV e+e- colliders. The principal backgrounds are evaluated and the viability of the signal is discussed and illustrated. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
