Higgs Mass, CP Violation and Phase Transition in the MSSM

Abstract

The effective potential in the MSSM at the one-loop level is used to evaluate masses of the neutral Higgs scalars and to study finite-temperature phase transition. The CP violation in the Higgs sector, which is induced by the spontaneous mechanism or by the complex parameters in the MSSM through radiative corrections, is determined at zero and finite temperatures.
