Higgs Boson Production in Association with Scalar Top Quarks at Proton Colliders

Abstract

We investigate the production of Higgs particles in association with the supersymmetric scalar partners of the top quark at proton colliders. In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the cross sections for the production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in association with top squark pairs can be rather large, substantially exceeding the rate for the associated Higgs boson production with top quarks. If the lightest top squark is not much heavier than the top quark, this process will enhance the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider to discover the lightest neutral Higgs boson, and will open a window to the study of the Higgs-stop coupling, the potentially largest electroweak coupling in the supersymmetric theory.
