The ATLAS experiment at the LHC is searching for evidence of charged Higgs bosons, without yet finding it. This report investigates the possibility of reconstructing charged Higgs bosons using multi-jet final states (pp -> [b]tH+ -> [b]bbbql\nu) with focus on fully hadronic H^+ -> hW decays using a simulation of 500k events with m_{H+} = 250 GeV. After optimizing TMVA (Toolkit for Multivariate Analysis) input variables for BDT (Boosted Decision Trees), the mass of H+ was recreated with an efficiency of up to 26,7% (correct combinations).
