In this work, we show the importance of searches for heavy resonant scalars (H) and pseudoscalars (A). Taking cue from the present searches, we make projections for searches in an extended scalar sector at the high luminosity run of the Large Hadron Collider. We study the three most relevant search channels, i.e., H → hh, H/A → tt and bbH/A. Upon studying multifarious final states for the resonant double Higgs production, we find that the bbγγ (σ(pp → H → hh) ∈ [81.27, 14.45] fb for m H ∈ [300, 600] GeV at 95% C.L.) and bbbb ([5.4, 2.5] fb for m H ∈ [800, 1000] GeV at 95% C.L.) channels are the most constraining. For the bbH channel, we can exclude σ(pp → bbH) ∈ [22.2, 3.7] fb for m H ∈ [300, 500] GeV. Finally, we consider the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model as an example and impose various present constraints and our future direct search-limits and obtain strong constraints on the m A − tan β parameter space, where m A and tan β are respectively the mass of the pseudoscalar and the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets. Assuming that the heavy Higgs boson decays only to Standard Model (SM) states, we find that the H → hh → bbγγ (H → tt) channel excludes tan β as low as 4 (m A ∈ [400, 800] GeV) at 95% CL. This weakens up to ∼ 5.5 when the bbH channel dominates. Upon allowing for non-SM decay modes, the limits weaken.
