    Charged Higgs Boson Production at e+e- Colliders in the Complex MSSM: A Full One-Loop Analysis

    Get PDF
    For the search for additional Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses in the Higgs sector precise knowledge of their production properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the charged Higgs boson production at e+e- colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production mechanism e+e- -> H+H- and e+e- -> H^\pm W^\mp, including soft and hard QED radiation. The dependence of the Higgs boson production cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find sizable contributions to many cross sections. They are, depending on the production channel, roughly of 5-10% of the tree-level results, but can go up to 20% or higher. The full one-loop contributions are important for a future linear e+e- collider such as the ILC or CLIC.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1511.06002, arXiv:1503.02996, arXiv:1410.278

    Chargino and Neutralino Production at e+e- Colliders in the Complex MSSM: A Full One-Loop Analysis

    Full text link
    For the search for charginos and neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses of these particles an accurate knowledge of their production and decay properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the chargino and neutralino production at e+e- colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production mechanisms e+e- -> cha_c cha_c' and e+e- -> neu_n neu_n', including soft and hard photon radiation. We mostly restricted ourselves to a version of our renormalization scheme which is valid for |M_1| < |M_2|, |mu| and M_2 != mu to simplify the analysis, even though we are able to switch to other parameter regions and correspondingly different renormalization schemes. The dependence of the chargino/neutralino cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find sizable contributions to many production cross sections. They amount roughly 10-20% of the tree-level results, but can go up to 40% or higher in extreme cases. Also the complex phase dependence of the one-loop corrections was found non-negligible. The full one-loop contributions are thus crucial for physics analyses at a future linear e+e- collider such as the ILC or CLIC.Comment: 45 pages, 26 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1606.06981, arXiv:1511.0600

    Neutral Higgs Boson Production at e+e- Colliders in the Complex MSSM: A Full One-Loop Analysis

    For the search for additional Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses in the Higgs sector a precise knowledge of their production properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the neutral Higgs boson production at e^+e^- colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production channels e^+e^- -> h_i Z, h_i gamma, h_i h_j (i,j = 1,2,3), including soft and hard QED radiation. The dependence of the Higgs boson production cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find sizable contributions to many cross sections. They are, depending on the production channel, roughly of 10-20% of the tree-level results, but can go up to 50% or higher. The full one-loop contributions are important for a future linear e^+e^- collider such as the ILC or CLIC. There are plans to implement the evaluation of the Higgs boson production cross sections into the code FeynHiggs.Comment: 34 pages, 16 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1503.02996, arXiv:1410.278

    For the search for scalar leptons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses of these particles an accurate knowledge of their production and decay properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the slepton production at e+e- colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production mechanisms e+e- -> slepton_s slepton_s' including soft and hard photon radiation. The dependence of the slepton production cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find sizable contributions to many production cross sections. They amount to roughly 15% of the tree-level results but can go up to 40% or higher in extreme cases. Also the complex phase dependence of the one-loop corrections for charged slepton production was found non-negligible. The full one-loop contributions are thus crucial for physics analyses at a future linear e+e- collider such as the ILC or CLIC.Comment: 41 pages, 20 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1704.07627, arXiv:1606.06981, arXiv:1511.0600

    Heavy Scalar Tau Decays in the Complex MSSM: A Full One-Loop Analysis

    Full text link
    We evaluate all two-body decay modes of the heavy scalar tau in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters (cMSSM) and no generation mixing. The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of all decay channels, also including hard and soft QED radiation. The renormalization of the relevant sectors is briefly reviewed. The dependence of the heavy scalar tau decay on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically, including also the decay to Higgs bosons and another scalar lepton or to a tau and the lightest neutralino. We find sizable contributions to many partial decay widths and branching ratios. They are mostly of O(5-10%) of the tree-level results, but can go up to 20%. These contributions are potentially important for the correct interpretation of scalar tau decays at the LHC and, if kinematically allowed, at the ILC or CLIC. The evaluation of the branching ratios of the heavy scalar tau will be implemented into the Fortran code FeynHiggs.Comment: 57 pages, 31 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1111.7289, 1112.0760, 1112.283

    Proposals for Bottom Quark/Squark Renormalization in the Complex MSSM

    Get PDF
    We present a consistent renormalization of the top and bottom quark/squark sector of the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). Various renormalization schemes are defined, analyzed analytically and tested numerically in the decays Stop_2 -> Sbot_i H+/W+ (i = 1,2). No scheme is found that produces numerically acceptable results over all the cMSSM parameter space, where problems occur mostly already for real parameters. Two schemes are identified that show the most robust behavior. A numerical analysis of the four partial stop decay widths is performed in our "preferred" scheme, "m_b, A_b DRbar". The full one-loop corrections to the corresponding partial decay widths are evaluated including hard QED and QCD radiation. We find mostly modest corrections at the one-loop level.Comment: 47 pages, 12 figure

    Precise prediction for the Higgs-Boson Masses in the μν\mu\nuSSM

    Full text link
    The μν\mu\nuSSM is a simple supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (SM) capable of predicting neutrino physics in agreement with experiment. In this paper we perform the complete one-loop renormalization of the neutral scalar sector of the μν\mu\nuSSM with one generation of right-handed neutrinos in a mixed on-shell/DR\overline{\mathrm{DR}} scheme. The renormalization procedure is discussed in detail, emphasizing conceptual differences to the minimal (MSSM) and next-to-minimal (NMSSM) supersymmetric standard model regarding the field renormalization and the treatment of non-flavor-diagonal soft mass parameters, which have their origin in the breaking of RR-parity in the μν\mu\nuSSM. We calculate the full one-loop corrections to the neutral scalar masses of the μν\mu\nuSSM. The one-loop contributions are supplemented by available MSSM higher-order corrections. We obtain numerical results for a SM-like Higgs boson mass consistent with experimental bounds. We compare our results to predictions in the NMSSM to obtain a measure for the significance of genuine μν\mu\nuSSM-like contributions. We only find minor corrections due to the smallness of the neutrino Yukawa couplings, indicating that the Higgs boson mass calculations in the μν\mu\nuSSM are at the same level of accuracy as in the NMSSM. Finally we show that the μν\mu\nuSSM can accomodate a Higgs boson that could explain an excess of γγ\gamma\gamma events at 96GeV\sim 96\, \mathrm{GeV} as reported by CMS, as well as the 2σ2\,\sigma excess of bbˉb \bar{b} events observed at LEP at a similar mass scale.Comment: Version published in EPJC. Numerical analysis improved, numerical results for NMSSM comparison changed accordingly, overall conclusions unchanged. 56 pages, 12 figure
