On the Radiative Corrections to the Pseudo-scalar Higgs Boson Mass

Abstract

We reexamine the one-loop corrections to the mass of the pseudo-scalar Higgs boson, using the effective potential. In the absence of the chargino and neutralino contributions its mass exhibits a large scale dependence in the large $M_{1/2}$ regime, especially for values of $\tan \beta >20$. Thus, although of electroweak origin, the heaviness of the $M_{1/2}$, in conjunction with the largeness of $\tan \beta$, makes these corrections very important for establishing a scale independent result and an unambiguous determination of the pseudo-scalar mass in this region of the parameter space.
