Semi-inclusive bottom-Higgs production at LHC: The complete one-loop electroweak effect in the MSSM

TL;DR

This paper provides the first complete one-loop electroweak correction calculation for semi-inclusive bottom-Higgs production at the LHC within the MSSM, highlighting parameter-dependent effects and scheme independence.

Contribution

It delivers the first full one-loop electroweak correction calculation for this process in the MSSM, including a comparison of renormalization schemes and approximation methods.

Findings

Electroweak corrections can be significant depending on the Higgs boson produced.

Results show good agreement between different renormalization schemes.

Simpler approximation methods may be reliable in certain parameter ranges.

Abstract

We present the first complete calculation of the one-loop electroweak effect in the process of semi-inclusive bottom-Higgs production at LHC in the MSSM. The size of the electroweak contribution depends on the choice of the final produced neutral Higgs boson, and can be relevant, in some range of the input parameters. A comparison of the one-loop results obtained in two different renormalization schemes is also performed, showing a very good NLO scheme independence. We further comment on two possible, simpler, approximations of the full NLO result, and on their reliabilty.
