Comment on ``Infrared Fixed Point Structure in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with Baryon and Lepton Number Violation"

We reconsider the Infrared Quasi Fixed Points which were studied recently in the literature in the context of the Baryon and Lepton number violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (hep-ph/0011274). The complete analysis requires further care and reveals more structure than what was previously shown. The formalism we develop here is quite general, and can be readily applied to a large class of models.

General one-loop renormalization group evolutions and electroweak symmetry breaking in the (M+1)SSM

We study analytically the general features of electroweak symmetry breaking in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended by one Higgs singlet. The exact analytical forms of the renormalization group evolutions of the Yukawa couplings and of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters are derived to one-loop order. They allow on one hand controllable approximations in closed analytical form, and on the other a precise study of the behaviour of infrared quasi fixed point regimes which we carry out. Some of these regimes are shown to be phenomenologically inconsistent, leading to too small an effective $μ$-parameter. The remaining ones serve as a suitable benchmark to understand analytically some salient aspects, often noticed numerically in the literature, in relation to the electroweak symmetry breaking in this model. The study does not need any specific assumption on $\tan β$ or on boundary conditions for the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, thus allowing a general insight into the sensitivity of the low energy physics to high energy assumptions.

Associated H$^{-}$ W$^{+}$ Production in High Energy $e^+e^-$ Collisions

We study the associated production of charged Higgs bosons with $W$ gauge bosons in high energy $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the one loop level. We present the analytical results and give a detailed discussion for the total cross section predicted in the context of a general Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM).

Associated Production of Higgs Bosons with Scalar Quarks at Future Hadron and $e^+e^-$ Colliders

We analyze the production of neutral Higgs particles in association with the supersymmetric scalar partners of the third generation quarks at future high--energy hadron colliders [upgraded Tevatron, LHC] and $e^+e^-$ linear machines [including the $γγ$ option]. In the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the cross section for the associated production of the lightest neutral $h$ boson with the lightest top squark pairs can be rather substantial at high energies. This process would open a window for the measurement of the $h \tilde{t} \tilde{t}$ coupling, the potentially largest coupling in the supersymmetric theory.

Analytical Study of Non-Universality of the Soft Terms in the MSSM

We obtain general analytical forms for the solutions of the one-loop renormalization group equations in the top/bottom/$τ$ sector of the MSSM. These solutions are valid for any value of $\tan β$ as well as any non-universal initial conditions for the soft SUSY breaking parameters and non-unification of the Yukawa couplings. We establish analytically a generic screening effect of non-universality, in the vicinity of the infrared quasi fixed point, which allows to determine sector-wise a hierarchy of sensitivity to initial conditions. We give also various numerical illustrations of this effect away from the quasi fixed point and assess the sensitivity of the Higgs and sfermion spectra to the non-universality of the various soft breaking sectors. As a by-product, a typical anomaly-mediated non-universality of the gaugino sector would have marginal influence on the scalar spectrum.

A Direct Reconstruction of the Gaugino Parameters with Phases

A simple algebraic algorithm is described to recover the (complex valued) gaugino/Higgsino basic parameters $μ= |μ| e^{i ϕ_μ}$, $M_1 = |M_1| e^{i ϕ_{M_1}}$, $M_2 = |M_2|$, directly in terms of (a minimal set of) neutralino and chargino masses, accurately measurable at future linear collider energies. An ambiguity in the $M_1$ reconstruction can be resolved by measuring the corresponding $e^+e^- \to χ^0_1 χ^0_2$ cross section. This approach should simplify the determination of allowed ranges of the gaugino parameters, in particular if only a partial set of gaugino masses were measured.

Stop-Stop-Higgs Production at future Linear Collider

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the cross section for the associated production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson with the lightest top squark pairs can be rather substantial at high energies. We summarize the properties of this production process at a future e^+e^- linear collider, including the $γγ$ mode.

Phases in the gaugino sector: direct reconstruction of the basic parameters and impact on the neutralino pair production

We consider recovering analytically the (generally complex) parameters $μ$, $M_1$ and $M_2$ of the gaugino and Higgsino Lagrangian, from appropriate physical input in the chargino and neutralino sectors. For given $\tanβ$, we obtain very simple analytic solutions for $M_2$, $| μ|$, $Arg[μ]$ in the chargino sector and a twofold $| M_1 |$, $Arg[M_1]$ analytic solution in the neutralino sector, assuming two chargino, two neutralino masses, and one of the chargino mixing angles as physical input. The twofold ambiguity in the neutralino parameters reconstruction may be essentially resolved by measuring the $e^+e^- \to χ^0_1 χ^0_2$ production cross-section at future linear collider energies, which we study explicitly with the phase dependences. Some salient features and specific properties of this complex case gaugino "spectrum inversion" are illustrated and compared with the similar inversion in the real case. In particular, our algorithms exhibit in a direct and transparent way the non-trivial theoretical correlation among the chargino and neutralino parameters, and the resulting allowed domains when only a subset of the required physical input masses and production cross-sections is known.

A convergent scheme for one-loop evolutions of the Yukawa couplings in the MSSM

Integrated forms of the one-loop evolution equations are given for the Yukawa couplings in the MSSM, valid for any value of $\tan β$, generalizable to virtually any number of Yukawa fermions, and including all gauge couplings. These forms turn out to have nice mathematical convergence properties which we prove, and we determine the ensuing convergence criteria. Furthermore, they allow to write down general sufficient and necessary conditions to avoid singularities in the evolution of the Yukawa couplings over physically relevant energy ranges. We also comment briefly on the possible use of these features for physics issues and give a short numerical illustration.

Radiative corrections to $e^+ e^- \to H^+ H^-$: THDM versus MSSM

One loop radiative corrections to $e^+e^-\to H^+ H^-$ are considered at future linear collider energies, in the general type II Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM) and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model-like (MSSM) Higgs sector. To make the comparison between THDM and MSSM tractable, we have introduced a quasi-SUSY parameterization which preserves all the tree-level Higgs mass-sum-rules of the MSSM, and involves just 3 free parameters in the Higgs sector (instead of 7 in the general THDM) and comprises the MSSM as a particular case. The model-independent soft photon contribution is isolated and shown to be substantial. Important effects come also from the contribution of the model dependent $h^0 H^+ H^-$ and $H^0 H^+ H^-$ vertices to the final state. In the MSSM, the contribution of the Higgs sector is moderate (a few percent) while in the THDM and both for small and large $\tan β$ important effects ($\sim +30%$) can be found.

Extracting chargino/neutralino mass parameters from physical observables

I report on two papers, hep-ph/9806279 and hep-ph/9807336, where complementary strategies are proposed for the determination of the chargino/neutralino sector parameters, $M_1, M_2, μ$ and $\tan β$, from the knowledge of some physical observables. This determination and the occurrence of possible ambiguities are studied as far as possible analytically within the context of the unconstrained MSSM, assuming however no CP-violation.

Inverting the Supersymmetric Standard Model Spectrum: from Physical to Lagrangian Ino Parameters

We examine the possibility of recovering the supersymmetric (and soft supersymmetry breaking) Lagrangian parameters as direct {\em analytical} expressions of appropriate physical masses, for the unconstrained (but CP and R-parity conserving) minimal supersymmetric standard model. We concentrate mainly on the algebraically non-trivial "inversion" for the ino parameters, and obtain, for given values of $\tanβ$, simple analytical expressions for the $μ$, $M_1$ and $M_2$ parameters in terms of three arbitrary input physical masses, namely either two chargino and one neutralino masses, or alternatively one chargino and two neutralino masses. We illustrate and discuss in detail the possible occurrence of ambiguities in this reconstruction. The dependence of the resulting ino Lagrangian parameters upon physical masses is illustrated, and some simple generic behaviour uncovered in this way. We finally briefly sketch generalizing such an inversion to the full set of MSSM Lagrangian parameters.

Higgs Boson Production in Association with Scalar Top Quarks at Proton Colliders

We investigate the production of Higgs particles in association with the supersymmetric scalar partners of the top quark at proton colliders. In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the cross sections for the production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in association with top squark pairs can be rather large, substantially exceeding the rate for the associated Higgs boson production with top quarks. If the lightest top squark is not much heavier than the top quark, this process will enhance the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider to discover the lightest neutral Higgs boson, and will open a window to the study of the Higgs-stop coupling, the potentially largest electroweak coupling in the supersymmetric theory.

Analytic constraints from electroweak symmetry breaking in the MSSM

We report on how a straightforward (albeit technically involved) analytic study of the 1-loop effective potential in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, modifies the usual electroweak symmetry breaking conditions involving $\tan β$ and the other free parameters of the model. The study implies new constraints which (in contrast with the existing ones like $1 \leq \tan β\leq m_t/m_b$) are fully model-independent and exclude more restrictively a region around $\tan β\sim 1$. Further results of this study will be only touched upon here.

Radiative corrections to $e^+e^-\to H^+ H^-$

We study the 1-loop corrections to the charged Higgs production both in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and in a more general type II two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM-II). We consider the full set of corrections (including soft photon contributions as well as box diagrams), and define a parametrization that allows a comparison between the two models. Besides the soft photon radiation there can be prominent model-dependent effects.

Radiative Contributions to TGC in the MSSM

We give a brief account of recent calculations of radiative contributions to the Triple Gauge Couplings (TGC) from the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), at a 500 GeV $e^+e^-$ collider. Our results indicate that, although these MSSM virtual contributions indeed are of the order of the expected accuracy on TGC measurements, the generally neglected box contributions to TGC also are likely to be relevant at such high energies.

Triple Gauge Boson Couplings

We present the results obtained by the "Triple Gauge Couplings" working group during the LEP2 Workshop (1994-1995). The report concentrates on the measurement of $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ couplings in $e^-e^+\to W^-W^+$ or, more generally, four-fermion production at LEP2. In addition the detection of new interactions in the bosonic sector via other production channels is discussed.
