Optimal observables to search for indirect supersymmetric QCD signals in Higgs boson decays

Abstract

In this work we study the indirect effects of squarks and gluinos via supersymmetric QCD radiative corrections in the decays of Higgs particles within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We consider a heavy supersymmetric spectrum and focus on the main nondecoupling effects. We propose a set of observables that are sensitive to these corrections and that will be accessible at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and Fermilab Tevatron. These observables are the ratios of Higgs boson branching ratios into quarks divided by the corresponding Higgs boson branching ratios into leptons, and both theoretical and experimental uncertainties are expected to be minimized. We show that these nondecoupling corrections are sizable for all the proposed observables in the large $\tan \beta$ region and are highly correlated. A global analysis of all these observables will allow the experiments to reach the highest sensitivity to indirect supersymmetric signals.
