What $e^+e^-$ collider could make a ``no-lose'' search for MSSM Higgs bosons?

Abstract

The lightest CP-even Higgs boson hh in the minimum supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) has a mass upper bound depending on the top quark and squark masses. An e+ee^+e^- collider with enough energy and luminosity to produce h+Zh+Z at measurable rates up to the maximum hh mass would cover the entire MSSM parameter space, if h+Ah+A production was also searched for. We explore the energy and/or luminosity needed for various top quark and squark masses. For mt=150m_t=150\,GeV and 1\,TeV SUSY mass scale, a 230\,GeV collider with 10\,fb1^{-1} luminosity would suffice.
