s-Channel Production of MSSM Higgs Bosons at a Muon Collider with Explicit CP Violation

TL;DR

This paper explores how a muon collider can effectively probe the Higgs sector in the MSSM with explicit CP violation by analyzing s-channel Higgs production and polarization asymmetries.

Contribution

It demonstrates the potential of muon colliders with polarization control to detect and diagnose CP violation in the MSSM Higgs sector through novel asymmetry measurements.

Findings

Production rates indicate sensitivity to CP violation.

Transverse polarization asymmetries distinguish CP-even and CP-odd states.

Muon colliders can serve as a powerful tool for Higgs sector studies.

Abstract

A muon collider with controllable energy resolution and transverse beam polarization provides a powerful probe of the Higgs sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation, through s-channel production of Higgs bosons. The production rates and the CP-even and CP-odd transverse-polarization asymmetries are complementary in diagnosing CP violation in the Higgs sector.
