Hadronic Higgs Production and Decay in Supersymmetry at Next-to-Leading Order

arXiv:hep-ph/0307346 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2003.09.013

Abstract

Supersymmetric QCD corrections to the gluonic production and decay rate of a CP-even Higgs boson are evaluated at next-to-leading order. To this aim, we derive an effective Lagrangian for the gluon-Higgs coupling. We show that a consistent calculation requires the inclusion of gluino effects, in contrast to what has been done previously. The supersymmetric corrections to the gluon-Higgs coupling lead to a modification of the next-to-leading order K-factor for the Higgs production rate at the LHC by less than five percent.
