  1. MSSM Charged Higgs from Top Quark Decays Marcela Carena Fermilab Top Quark Symposium Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, April 2005 based on works done in collaboration with: Garcia, Nierste and Wagner, Nucl. Phys. B 577 (2000) Boos, Buchinev and Wagner, in preparation

  2. Outline • Introduction: MSSM Higgs Sector • Radiative Corrections to decay rate resummation of LO and NLO logs of Standard QCD corrections via OPE resummation of dominant SUSY corrections for large to all orders in perturbation theory • The impact of tau polarization in charged Higgs searches fit to pion energy distributions from polarized tau decays & charged Higgs mass measurements at ILC

  3. Standard Model  effective theory Supersymmetry  interesting alternative BSM If SUSY exists, many of its most important motivations demand some SUSY particles at the TeV range or below • solve the hierarchy problem • generate EWSB by quantum corrections • Allow for gauge coupling unification at a scale • induce a large top quark mass from Yukawa coupling evolution. • provide a good dark matter candidate: the lightest neutralino • provide a possible solution to baryogenesis Minimal model: 2 Higgs SU(2) doublets5 physical states: 2 CP-even h, H with mixing angle 1 CP-odd A and a charged pair Higgs Physics: important tool in understanding Supersymmetry

  4. Upper bound : stringent test of the MSSM Radiative corrections to Higgs Masses After quantum corrections, Higgs mass shifted due to incomplete cancellation of particles and superparticles in the loops • Main effects: top and stop loops; bottom and sbottom loops for large tanb • Main Quantum effects: • enhancement ; dependence • on stop mixing and logarithmic • sensitivity to M.C., Quiros, Wagner; M.C.,Haber

  8. Important modifications of couplings due to radiative corrections: depending on MSSM parameter space • strong suppression/enhancement of the charged Higgs coupling to top-bottom • depending on sign of  sign of mu for positive gluino mass • Similar behaviour for the CP-odd Higgs b-b coupling

  9. Renormalization Group Effects • tanb enhanced correc. to hb are not the only universal ones • Standard QCD corrections to transitions involving Yukawa interactions log(Q/mb) with: -- Summation to all orders in leading logsdone evaluating running hb(Q) mb(Q) -- Full one-loop QCD correc. to decay rates require summation of NLO logs due to non-log terms To consider both effects: using OPE + RG evolution in The above relation is also valid at the scale Q  the characteristic scale of the process Braaten,Leveille; Drees, Hikasa Czarnecki, Davidson M.C., Garcia, Nierste, Wagner

  12. Tau Polarization & Charged Higgs Measurements • In the range it seems difficult to identify decays from Crucial Observation: Due to the lefthandness of the charged current: whereas  a consequence of the helicity-flip (conserving) of the SM Higgs (vector boson) couplings Hence: This holds in general in models with only

  13. The decay distributions of the are sufficiently different from those of Considering the main contributions to one-prong hadronic tau decays: The dependence of the tau polarization of the angular distributions of the primary decay modes in the tau rest frame all three channels have an important dependence on For this study I will only use

  14. Bullock, Hagiwara, Martin In the colinear limit Energy distributions arising from are significantly different from decays • Most energetic particles from decays  transv. polarized • Most energetic particles from decays  & long. polarized Energetic pions favour charged Higgs over W’s

  15. Charged Higgs searches at the ILC:the impact of tau Polarization • We consider  with and Main background: both tops decay into Wb and • Simulations done with CompHEP, including ISR and beamstrahlung with polarized • Polarized decays with TAUOLA, using new CompHEP-TAUOLA interfase (E. Boos et al.) • All other stages done with CompHEP-Pythia interface • Energy distributions are given in the reconstracted top rest frame using the recoil mass technique

  16. In the top rest frame: where the resonance R is either the W boson or the charged Higgs where: M. Nojiri: Boos, Martyn,Moortgat-Pick, Sachwitz, Sherstnev and Zerwas for stau pair production: (R equiv. stau)

  19. Conclusions • Low energy supersymmetry has an important impact on Higgs physics.  It leads to definite predictions to the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and gauge bosons. • Such couplings, however, are affected by radiative corrections induced by supersymmetric particle loops. It affects Higgs searches at hadron and lepton colliders in an important way.  QCD and SUSY quantum corrections to lead to crucial effects in the interpretation of searches from top decays at the Tevatron • Tau Lepton polarization is a powerful discriminative characteristic to separate charged Higgs signal two representative scenarios with tH+b suppressed/enhanced couplings shown for ILC. • Fit to pion spectra from polarized tau decays allows to extract light charged Higgs masses with (theoretical study, but only info on from used!)
