Decays of the MSSM Higgs Bosons with Explicit CP Violation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Higgs boson decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model where the tree–level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by loop effects of soft CP–violating Yukawa interactions related to scalar quarks of the third generation. The scalar–pseudoscalar mixing among two neutral CP–even Higgs bosons and one CP–odd Higgs boson due to explicit CP violation modifies their tree–level couplings to fermions, to the W± and Z bosons and to Higgs bosons themselves significantly. We analyze the phenomenological impact of explicit CP violation on the branching ratios of the neutral Higgs boson decays in detail and discuss how to directly confirm the existence of explicit CP violation through τ+τ− and tt̄ spin correlations in the decays of the neutral Higgs bosons into a tau–lepton pair and a top–quark pair.

متن کاملCollider Probes of the MSSM Higgs Sector with Explicit CP Violation
We investigate the hadron collider phenomenology of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation for Higgs bosons that can be observed in Standard Model search channels: W/ZHi(→ bb̄) at the Tevatron, and gg → Hi(→ γγ), tt̄Hi(→ bb̄) and WW → Hi(→ τ+τ−) at the LHC. Our numerical analysis is based on a benchmark scenario proposed earlier called CPX, which has been desig...
متن کاملCP-Violating MSSM Higgs Bosons in the Light of LEP 2
In the MSSM, the CP parities of the neutral Higgs bosons may be mixed by radiative effects induced by explicit CP violation in the third generation of squarks. To allow for this possibility, we argue that the charged Higgs-boson mass and tan β should be used to parametrize the MSSM Higgs sector. We introduce a new benchmark scenario of maximal CP violation appropriate for direct searches of CP-...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Higgs Boson Decays in the MSSM with Explicit CP Violation
Decays into neutralinos and charginos are among the most accessible supersymmetric decay modes of Higgs particles in most supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In the presence of explicitly CP–violating phases in the soft breaking sector of the theory, the couplings of Higgs bosons to charginos and neutralinos are in general complex. Based on a specific benchmark scenario of CP viola...
متن کاملHiggs pair production in the MSSM with explicit CP violation
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation, associated production of the lightest Higgs boson with heavier ones is analyzed. Due to explicit CP violation, the Higgs bosons are no longer CP eigenstates so that both of the heavy Higgs bosons contribute to the process. While the radiative corrections in the Higgs sector turn out to be quite important, the vertex radiat...
