A Higgs boson in the intermediate mass range is considered. An effective Lagrangian approach is used in order to evaluate the top-induced QCD corrections of order $\alpha_s^3$ to the decay into light quarks and $O(\alpha_s^4)$ corrections…
QCD corrections to the electroweak one-loop result for the partial width $\Gamma(H\rightarrow b\bar{b})$ are studied. For the decay channel into bottom quarks the rate is affected by a virtual top quark through electroweak interactions. The…
The two--loop ${\cal O}(\alpha_s G_F m_t^2)$ corrections to the $b\bar b$ decay rate of the Standard Model Higgs boson as well as its production via $e^+e^- \to ZH$ will be presented. These QCD corrections are obtained by using a low-energy…
In supersymmetric theories, the decays of the neutral CP-even and CP-odd as well as the charged Higgs bosons into scalar quarks, in particular into top and bottom squarks, can be dominant if they are kinematically allowed. We calculate the…
Three-loop corrections to the scalar and pseudo-scalar current correlator are calculated. By applying the large momentum expansion mass terms up to order (m^2/q^2)^4 are evaluated analytically. As an application O(\alpha_s^2) corrections to…
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…
Low- and intermediate mass Higgs bosons decay preferably into fermion pairs. The one-loop electroweak corrections to the respective decay rates are dominated by a flavour-independent term of ${\cal O}(G_Fm_t^2)$. We calculate the two-loop…
We discuss the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ QCD radiative corrections to Higgs boson production in the limit in which the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs boson. The subleading corrections, of ${\cal O} (\alpha_s M_H^2/M_{\rm top}^2)$, are…
The supersymmetric QCD corrections to the hadronic width of a heavy charged Higgs boson, basically dominated by the top-quark decay mode $H^{+}\rightarrow t \bar{b}$, are evaluated at ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ within the MSSM and compared with…
