Claims
We find that tagging such a `boosted double-b fat-jet (J_bb)' signature in association with a SM gauge boson provides an excellent probe of the Type-I 2HDM for hierarchical scalar spectra. [...] the 2σ exclusion reach for the heavy scalars extending up to ∼540 GeV (∼365 GeV) at the HL-LHC with 3000 fb^{-1} (LHC with 300 fb^{-1}) luminosity for light scalar masses in the range 30--70 GeV.
The analysis assumes that the light scalar decays predominantly to b b-bar with high enough branching ratio, that the boosted fat-jet tagging efficiency remains high, and that standard-model backgrounds can be controlled sufficiently for the quoted exclusion reaches to hold.
Boosted light scalars decaying to b b-bar in Type-I 2HDM can be tagged as double-b fat-jets and used with SM gauge bosons to probe heavy scalars up to 540 GeV at the HL-LHC for masses 30-70 GeV.
