Abstract

We investigate the CP-odd Higgs boson production via two-photon processes in eγ collisions. The CP-odd Higgs boson, which we denote as A0, is expected to appear in the Two-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDM) as a minimal extension of Higgs sector for which the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is a special case. The scattering amplitude for eγ→eA0 is evaluated at the electroweak one-loop level. The dominant contribution comes from top-quark loops when A0 boson is rather light and tan⁡β is not large. There are no contributions from the W-boson and Z-boson loops nor the scalar top-quark (stop) loops. The differential cross section for the A0 production is analyzed.

Highlights

  • After the Higgs boson with mass about 125 GeV was discovered by ATLAS and CMS at LHC [1] and its spin, parity and couplings were examined [2], there has been growing interest in constructing a new accelerator facility, like a linear e + e − collider [3], which would offer much cleaner experimental data

  • The e − γ and γ γ options are based on e − e − collisions, where one or two of the electron beams are converted to the photon beams

  • In this paper we investigate the production of the CP-odd Higgs boson ( A 0 ), which appears in the 2HDM or in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) [11], in an

Summary

Introduction

After the Higgs boson with mass about 125 GeV was discovered by ATLAS and CMS at LHC [1] and its spin, parity and couplings were examined [2], there has been growing interest in constructing a new accelerator facility, like a linear e + e − collider [3], which would offer much cleaner experimental data. In our previous papers [9,10], we have studied the SM Higgs boson (H SM ) production in e γ collisions, focusing on the transition form factor of H SM boson [9] and on the dependence of polarizations of the initial electron and photon beams [10]. In this paper we investigate the production of the CP-odd Higgs boson ( A 0 ), which appears in the 2HDM or in the MSSM [11], in an. We investigate the Q 2 dependence of the transition form factor and the production cross section. The scalar top-quark (stop) does not contribute to the A 0 production in e γ collisions at one-loop level
