Determining the CP-eigenvalues of the Neutral Higgs Bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model in $\text{gam}\text{gam}$ Collisions

Abstract

We determine the optimal laser and $\text{ep}/\text{em}$ energies and polarizations for {\it directly} determining the CP eigenvalue of each of the neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model via measurement of transverse polarization cross section asymmetry in back-scattered laser photon collisions. Approximate statistical significances are computed for the measurement of the CP eigenvalue as a function of Higgs mass and other parameters of the model.
