Renormalization Group Improved Radiative Corrections to the Supersymmetric Higgs Boson Masses

Abstract

The one-loop radiative corrections to the Higgs boson potential in the MSSM, originating from the top quark and squark loops, are summed in the leading log approximation using the renormalization group. The RG improved effective potential is minimized and the corrections to the CP-odd and CP-even Higgs boson masses are calculated. The resulting masses exhibit smoother top mass dependence than those calculated without RG summation. We have also found that for preferable values of the top mass the light Higgs mass does not exceed 100 GeV.Comment: 10 PAGES, 1 FIGURE ENCLOSED, LATE
