Abstract
In this paper we propose a method to compute the running top-Yukawa coupling in supersymmetric models with heavy mass spectrum based on the "running" and "decoupling" procedure. In order to enable this approach we compute the two-loop SUSY-QCD radiative corrections required in the decoupling process. The method has the advantage that large logarithmic corrections are automatically resummed through the Renormalization Group Equations. As phenomenological application we study the effects of this approach on the prediction of the lightest Higgs boson mass at three-loop accuracy. We observe a significant reduction of the renormalization scale dependence as compared to the direct method, that is based on the conversion relation between the running and pole mass for the top quark. The effect of resummation of large logarithmic contributions consists in an increased prediction for the Higgs boson mass, an observation in agreement with the previous analyses.
