The TESLA Technical Design Report Part III: Physics at an e+e- Linear Collider
We consider a CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet type II model with a light scalar or pseudoscalar neutral Higgs boson ($\h=\hl$ or $\h=\ha$) that has no $ZZ/WW$ coupling and, thus, cannot be detected in $\epem\to Z\h$ (Higgs-strahlung) or $ν\antiν\h$ (via $WW$ fusion). Despite sum rules which ensure that the light $\h$ must have significant $t\anti t$ or $b\anti b$ coupling, for a wedge of moderate $\tanb$, that becomes increasingly large as $\mh$ increases, the $\h$ can also escape discovery in both $b\anti b \h$ and $t\anti t \h$ production at a $\rts=500-800\gev$ $\epem$ collider (for expected luminosities). If the other Higgs bosons happen to be too heavy to be produced, then no Higgs boson would be detected. We demonstrate that, despite such high masses for the other Higgs bosons, only the low-$\tanb$ portion of the no-discovery wedges in $[\mh,\tanb]$ parameter space can be excluded due to failure to fit precision electroweak observables. In the $\tanb\gsim 1$ regions of the no-discovery wedges, we find that the 2HDM fit to precision electroweak observables has small $Δχ^2$ relative to the best minimal one-doublet SM fit.
Review of prospects for discovery of new physics signals at LEP2. The areas covered include SUSY, exotic fermions, BESS models, leptoquarks, virtual effects and CP violating observables.
Systematic on-shell renormalization programme is carried out for the Higgs and gauge boson sectors of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Complete 1-loop results for the 2- and 3-point Green's functions are explicitly given. The Higgs boson masses and the cross sections for the neutral scalar production in the $e^+e^-$ colliders are calculated.
