     41The best we can do currently to model a charged Higgs signal in the intermediate mass range for this involved process (pp > b b H W) is to use the available NLO predictions for the total cross section and combine them with event generation at LO.

     431) The state-of-the-art NLO predictions in the intermediate mass range, excluding contributions from scalar Higgses, can be downloaded for tan(beta) values of 0.1 to 60 for both type I and type II 2HDMs from the [https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/LHCHXSWGMSSMCharged#Intermediate_mass_145_200_GeV_ch twiki page of the LHCHXSWG (charged Higgs subgroup)]

     452) Generate the process at LO without neutral Higgses to compute dσ,,LO,,^no-neutral^. Use the model file attached to this page (2HDMtypeIIymbMSbar.tar) and extract it into the models folder.[[BR]]

     52 The parameters in the cards should be chosen according to the LHC Higgs cross section working group recommendations.

     654) Combine all contributions: reweight LO without neutral Higgses to NLO cross section and add neutral Higgs contribution at LO without reweighting:
