Description
Fermiophobic Higgs bosons $h_f$ exhibiting large branching ratios to two photons can arise in models with two or more scalar doublets and/or triplets. In such models the conventional production mechanisms at hadron colliders may be rendered ineffective due to severe mixing angle suppression. In this scenario, double fermiophobic Higgs production may proceed via complementary mechanisms leading to events with up to 4 photons. We perform a simulation of the detection prospects of $h_f$ in the multi-photon (>3) channel at the Fermilab Tevatron and show that a sizeable region of the ($m_{H^\pm},m_{h_f}$) parameter space can be probed during Run II.
