Abstract

We present the calculation of the light neutral CP-even Higgs mass in the MSSM for a heavy SUSY spectrum by resumming enhanced terms through fourth logarithmic order (N^{3}LL), keeping terms of leading order in the top Yukawa coupling alpha _t, and NNLO in the strong coupling alpha _s. To this goal, the three-loop matching coefficient for the quartic Higgs coupling of the SM to the MSSM is derived to order alpha _t^2alpha _s^2 by comparing the perturbative EFT to the fixed-order expression for the Higgs mass. The new matching coefficient is made available through an updated version of the program Himalaya. Numerical effects of the higher-order resummation are studied using specific examples, and sources of theoretical uncertainty on this result are discussed.

Highlights

  • P Yukawa coupling αt, and NNLO in the strong coupling αs

  • Higgs coupling of the SM to the MSSM is derived to order αt2 αs2 by comparing the perturbative effective field theory (EFT) to the fixed-order expression for the Higgs mass

  • Terms of order v 2 /M S2, where M S is the typical SUSY particle mass, are usually neglected in an EFT calculation, which is justified at M S 1 TeV [15]

Summary

Formalism

As briefly described in the introduction, there are different approximation schemes commonly used to calculate the light. CP-even Higgs boson mass in the MSSM: The fixed-order, the EFT, and the hybrid calculation. The fixed-order calculation includes the SUSY effects through an expansion in terms of couplings up to a fixed order. In this expansion, logarithmic corrections appear, which may be large if there is a large split between the SUSY and the electroweak scale,. We describe both the fixed-order and the EFT calculation in more detail, in order to prepare for the extraction of the three-loop correction to the quartic. Due to the SUSY constraints, Y does not contain a separate parameter for the quartic Higgs coupling
