Radiative Corrections to Supersymmetric Higgs Boson Masses

Precision electroweak measurements at LEP currently check the validity of the Standard Model to about one part in a thousand. Any successful model of physics beyond the Standard Model must be consistent with these observations. The impact of radiative corrections on the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) is considered. The influence of supersymmetric particles on precision electroweak measurements is generally negligible since radiative corrections mediated by supersymmetric...

The signal discovered in the Higgs searches at the LHC can be interpreted as the Higgs boson of the Standard Model as well as the light CP-even Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this context the measured mass value, having already reached the level of a precision observable with an experimental accuracy of about 500 MeV, plays an important role. This precision can be improved substantially below the level of about 50 MeV at the future Interna...

In the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) all Higgs self-coupling parameters are related to gauge couplings at tree-level. Leading-logarithmic radiative corrections to these quantities can be summed using renormalization group techniques. By this procedure we obtain complete leading-log radiative corrections to the Higgs masses, the CP-even Higgs mixing angle, and trilinear Higgs couplings. Additional corrections due to squark mixing can be explicitly incorporated into this ...

After an introduction to the Higgs sector of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, recent results on radiative corrections to Higgs boson masses and couplings are reviewed. The phenomenology of supersymmetric Higgs searches at large hadron colliders and at a possible linear $\epem$ collider is also described.

These lectures provide a very basic introduction to different theoretical limits on the mass of Higgs scalars. Particular attention is devoted to the pure Standard Model and its Minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM). [Lectures presented at the XXIV ITEP Winter School, Snegiri (Russia), February 96]

We present the implementation of the radiative corrections of the Higgs sector in three public computer codes for the evaluation of the particle spectrum in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, Softsusy, Spheno and SuSpect. We incorporate the full one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson masses and the electroweak symmetry breaking conditions, as well as the two-loop corrections controlled by the strong gauge coupling and the Yukawa couplings of the third generation ferm...

An effective theory approach is used to compute analytically the radiative corrections to the mass of the light Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model when there is a hierarchy in the masses of the stops (M_st1 >> M_st2 >> M_top, with moderate stop mixing). The calculation includes up to two-loop leading and next-to-leading logarithmic corrections dependent on the QCD and top-Yukawa couplings, and is further completed by two-loop non-logarithmic corrections ...

The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Higgs sector containing five neutral and two charged Higgs bosons allows for a rich phenomenology. In addition, the plethora of parameters provides many sources of CP violation. In contrast to the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension, CP violation in the Higgs sector is already possible at tree-level. For a reliable understanding and interpretation of the experimental results of the Higgs boson sear...

I discuss the effects of QCD radiative corrections in Supersymmetric theories. After summarizing the SUSY--QCD lagrangian in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, I will discuss the new features introduced by SUSY, and the main complications compared to standard QCD corrections. I will then discuss a few examples of QCD calculations in SUSY theories, for standard processes and for processes involving SUSY particles including the extended Higgs sector. [T...

The neutral Higgs sector of the Minimal non Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is considered. By effective potential and R.G.E. supported method; an upper bound of the lightest Higgs is analysed. From the request of perturbativity of the coupling in the superpotential, adding the leading stop top contributions, the absolute bound of $\sim 130$ GeV for $90 GeV < m_t< 180 GeV$ and $M_{\tilde{t}} \simeq 1000 $ GeV is derived. The interesting dependence on $m_t$ for $\tan{\bet...
