Abstract

Using an effective potential approach, we compute two-loop radiative corrections to the MSSM lightest -even Higgs boson mass to for arbitrary left-right top-squark mixing and . We find that these corrections can increase by as much as 5 GeV; assuming a SUSY scale of 1 TeV, the upper bound on the Higgs boson mass is GeV for the top quark pole mass GeV. We also derive an analytical approximation formula for which is good to a precision of $\lsim 0.5$ GeV for most of the parameter space and suitable to be further improved by including renormalization group resummation of leading and next-to-leading order logarithmic terms. Our final compact formula admits a clear physical interpretation: radiative corrections up to the two-loop level can be well approximated by a one-loop expression with parameters evaluated at the appropriate scales, plus a smaller finite two-loop threshold correction term.
