Pseudoscalar Higgs boson production associated with a single bottom quark at hadron colliders

Abstract

We compute the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) SUSY-QCD corrections for the associated production of a pseudoscalar Higgs boson with a bottom quark via bottom-gluon fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Fermilab Tevatron. We find that the NLO QCD correction in the MSSM reaches $40$ at the LHC and $45$ at the Tevatron in our chosen parameter space.
