Production of charged Higgs (H-) (with different masses) associated with t (top) using MG5_aMC_v2_6_1 at LO QCD. PYTHI8 is used for H+ decays, PS and hadronisation. Charged higgs decay to t plus b-quark (done in Pythia8) in 100% cases. The cross sections are for tan(beta)=1-7. NNPDF23_LO used for PDF. It uses 5 flavour number scheme (b-quark is a part of proton PDF). Pythia8 is used for showering and hadronisation and deacys. H+ masses ranged from 500 GeV to 8000 GeV (included to the names of files as *_m[MASS]). Cross section for each file depends on generated masses. 5,000 events per file. LHE events from MG5 are in "tev13_mg5_HT5F.tgz" Samples are created with the help of Xiaoping Wang and Carlos E.M. Wagner.

Decays

Decays of H+ are handled by PYTHIA8. Events are created assuming charged Higgs to decay to b-quark and to-quarks with 100% branching ratio. No specific decay of top quarks was used. To create realistic cross sections, you should multiply the obtained cross sections by the branching ratio [H- to b-t~].

Slimming

Particle records are slimmed (all stable with pT>0.3 GeV) and (PID=5 || PID=6) or PID>22 && PID<38) or PID>10 && PID<17).
