CP-odd Higgs boson production in association with Neutral gauge boson in High-Energy e+e−e^+e^- Collisions

We study the associated production of a CP-odd Higgs boson $A^0$ with a neutral gauge boson ($Z$ or photon) in high-energy $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the one-loop level in the framework of Two Higgs Doublet Models (THDM). We find that in the small $\tan\beta$ regime the top quark loop contribution is enhanced leading to significant cross-sections (about a few fb), while in the large $\tan\beta$ regime the cross-section does not attain observable rates.Comment: 16 pages Latex, 4 figures, figures in agreement with erratu

Enhancement of Loop Induced H±W∓Z0H^\pm W^\mp Z^0 Vertex in Two Higgs-doublet Model

The non-decoupling effects of heavy Higgs bosons as well as fermions on the loop-induced $H^\pm W^\mp Z^0$ vertex are discussed in the general two Higgs doublet model. The decay width of the process $H^+ \to W^+ Z^0$ is calculated at one-loop level and the possibility of its enhancement is explored both analytically and numerically. We find that the novel enhancement of the decay width can be realized by the Higgs non-decoupling effects with large mass-splitting between the charged Higgs boson and the CP-odd one. This is due to the large breakdown of the custodial $SU(2)_V$ invariance in the Higgs sector. The branching ratio can amount to $10^{-2} \sim 10^{-1}$ for $m_{H^\pm} = 300$ GeV within the constraint from the present experimental data. Hence this mode may be detectable at LHC or future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders.Comment: 31+1 pages, Latex with 8 eps-file
