Top Squark Effects on Higgs Boson Production and Decays at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, one of the scalar top quarks can be relatively light and its couplings to Higgs bosons strongly enhanced. I will discuss two consequences of this feature: 1) the effects of scalar top loops on the main production mechanism of the lightest Higgs boson at the LHC, the gluon-fusion mechanism gghgg \to h, and on the important decay channel into two photons hγγh \to \gamma \gamma; and 2) the production of the light Higgs particle in association with top-squark pairs at proton colliders, ppt~1t~1hpp \to \tilde{t}_1 \tilde{t}_1 h.
