Very Heavy MSSM Higgs-Boson Production at the Linear Collider

Abstract

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) we present the corrections to the heavy neutral CP-even Higgs-boson production in the WW-fusion and Higgs-strahlung channel, e+e- -> \bar nu nu H, taking into account all O(\alpha) corrections arising from loops of fermions and sfermions. While the H boson shows decoupling behavior at the tree-level, we find non-negligible loop corrections that can enhance the cross section considerably. At a center-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 1000 GeV, masses of up to M_H <= 750 GeV are accessible at the LC in favorable regions of the MSSM parameter space.
