We examine the possibility of finding charged Higgs bosons (H*) at the SSC. The charged Higgs boson is produced with a top quark via a gluon + bottom quark interaction (g + b + H + t). For the two Higgs doublet models, H* decays predominantly into t + b. Since the background from QCD processes will be very severe for this decay mode, we studied the H* + r + Y decay mode. Even for this mode, background from the processes pp + W + t + spectators + 4! + ul+ t + spectators will be very high. In the
