Recent results from the LHC experiments, both for the Higgs mass measurement and the direct search for supersymmetric (SUSY) particles, might indicate that the SUSY breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale. Although it is…
We address the compatibility of a light sbottom (mass $2\sim 5.5 \gev$) and a light gluino (mass $12\sim 16 \gev$) with electroweak precision measurements. Such light particles have been suggested to explain the observed excess in the $b$…

In the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), the upper limit of the lightest Higgs boson mass, $\mhl$, depends strongly on the top quark mass, $m_t$. We have computed the dominant two-loop radiative corrections to this upper limit of $\mhl$…
The three-loop QCD contributions to the vacuum polarization functions of the $Z$ and $W$ bosons at zero momentum are calculated. The top quark is considered to be massive and the other quarks massless. Using these results, we calculate the…
We present in analytic form the O(alpha_s^5) correction to the H->gg partial width of the standard-model Higgs boson with intermediate mass M_H<2M_t. Its knowledge is useful because the O(alpha_s^4) correction is sizeable (around 20%). For…
The associated production of a Higgs boson with a b quark is a discovery channel for the lightest MSSM neutral Higgs boson. We consider the SUSY QCD contributions from squarks and gluinos and discuss the decoupling properties of these…
QCD sum rules for the nucleon are considered in complex q^2 plane with inclusion of the radiative corrections of the order alpha_s. It is shown that the radiative corrections affect mainly the residue lambda^2 of the nucleon pole. Their…

The relation between the pole quark mass and the $\overline{MS}$-renormalized mass is governed by an infrared renormalon singularity, which leads to an ambiguity of order $\Lambda_{QCD}$ in the definition of the pole mass. We use the…
Supersymmetry predicts that gauge couplings are equal to the corresponding gaugino-sfermion-fermion Yukawa couplings. This prediction can be tested for the QCD sector of the MSSM by studying the processes eplus+eminus ->…
