Radiative Corrections to Higgs Masses in $Z^{\prime }$ Models

Abstract

We calculate radiative corrections to the masses of the Higgs bosons in a minimal supersymmetric model that contains an additional non-anomalous (U(1)') gauge symmetry. With some fine-tuning of the (U(1)') charges of the Higgs fields, it is possible to suppress the (Z)--(Z^{\prime}) mixing. We use this fact, along with the lower bound on the lightest Higgs mass after LEPII era, as a criterion to restrict the set of parameters in our analysis. We calculate the mass of the lightest Higgs and its mixing with the other Higgs bosons, in a large region of the parameter space.
