  "abstract": "We study the discovery potential of the $cg \\to tA\\to tZH$ process at the LHC, where $A$ and $H$ are CP-odd and even exotic scalars, respectively. The context is the general Two Higgs Doublet Model, where $cg \\to tA$ is induced by the flavor changing neutral Higgs coupling $\\rho_{tc}$. We find that the process $cg \\to tA\\to tZH$ can be discovered for $m_A \\sim 400$ GeV, but would likely require high luminosity running of the LHC. Such a discovery would shed light on the mechanism behind the observed Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe. We also study $cg \\to tA\\to tZh$, where $h$ is the observed 125 GeV scalar, but find it out of reach at the LHC.",
