Higgs Production and Decay in the MSSM: Status and Perspectives

The theoretical predictions in the MSSM for Higgs-boson production at a future ee Linear Collider and Higgs-boson decay processes are discussed focusing in particular on recent diagrammatic two-loop results in the MSSM Higgs sector. The present status of the theoretical predictions is briefly summarized, and it is emphasized that considerable improvements will be necessary in order to match the high experimental accuracy achievable at a future Linear Collider. ∗) email: [email protected] †) email: [email protected] Higgs production and decay in the MSSM: status and perspectives Sven Heinemeyer∗ and Georg Weiglein† HET, Brookhaven Natl.
