Popis: We study the production of a charged Higgs boson in association with a $W$ boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. This production mechanism is particularly promising if the charged Higgs boson is too heavy to be generated by top-quark decay. We compare the contributions due to $b\overline{b}$ annihilation at the tree level and $\mathrm{gg}$ fusion, which proceeds at one loop. Apart from the total cross section, we also consider distributions in transverse momentum and rapidity. We also assess the viability of ${W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{H}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$ associated production at the Fermilab Tevatron after the installation of the Main Injector and the Recycler.
