Abstract

We consider the production of charged Higgs scalar bosons at e+e and hadron colliders as a probe of the WHZi vertex which can be nonzero at the tree level in E6 models. Substantial cross sections at both kinds of colliders are possible but backgrounds are very substantial. These backgrounds can, in principle, be dealt with. e+e annihilation with a light Z2 may offer the best hope of probing this new interaction.
