Radiative corrections to a supersymmetric relation: A new approach
Recently it has been realized that the production and decay processes of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons receive corrections which grow like logm{sub {tilde q}} for large m{sub {tilde q}}. In this paper we calculate the chargino pair production cross section at e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} colliders with quark-squark loop corrections. We introduce a novel formulation, where the one-loop amplitude is reorganized into two parts. One part is expressed in terms of the {open_quotes}effective{close_quotes} chargino coupling {bar g}{sub e{tilde {nu}}{tilde W}} and mixing matrices U{sup P},V{sup P}, and includes all O(logm{sub {tilde q}}) corrections, while the other decouples for large m{sub {tilde q}}. The form of the one-loop cross section then becomes physically transparent. Our formulation can be easily extended to other loops and processes. Numerically, we find significant corrections due to the effective t-channel coupling {bar g}{sub e{tilde {nu}}{tilde W}}, for gaugino-like charginos. In the mixed region, where the chargino has large gaugino and Higgsino components, the corrections due to (U{sup P},V{sup P}) are also significant. Our numerical results disagree with a previous calculation. We reexamine previous studies of the determination of {bar g}{sub e{tilde {nu}}{tilde W}} through the measurement of the chargino production cross section. We point out that amore » previous study, which claimed that the measurement suffers large systematic errors, was performed at a {open_quotes}pessimistic{close_quotes} point in MSSM parameter space. We provide reasons why the systematic errors are not a limiting factor for generic parameter choices. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}« less

One-loop corrections to the chargino and neutralino mass matrices in the on-shell scheme
We present a consistent procedure for the calculation of the one-loop corrections to the charginos and neutralinos by using their on-shell mass matrices. The on-shell gaugino mass parameters M and M', and the Higgsino mass parameter \mu are defined by the elements of these on-shell mass matrices. The on-shell mass matrices are different by finite one-loop corrections from the tree-level ones given in terms of the on-shell parameters. When the on-shell M and \mu are determined by the chargino sector, the neutralino masses receive corrections up to 4%. This must be taken into account in precision measurements at future e^+ e^- linear colliders.

SUSY - QCD corrections to top and bottom squark decays into Higgs bosons
We calculate the $\mathcal{O}({\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s})$ SUSY-QCD corrections to the widths of top and bottom squark decays into Higgs bosons within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We give the complete analytical formulas, paying particular attention to the on-shell renormalization of the soft SUSY-breaking parameters. We also perform a detailed numerical analysis of both top and bottom squark decays into all Higgs bosons ${h}^{0},$ ${H}^{0},$ ${A}^{0},$ and ${H}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}.$ We find that the SUSY-QCD corrections are significant, mostly negative, and of the order of a few ten percent.

Large tan beta SUSY QCD corrections to B -> X_s gamma
The charged-Higgs boson contributions to the Wilson coefficients C_7 and C_8, relevant for the decay B -> X_s gamma, are discussed in supersymmetric models at large tan beta. These contributions receive two-loop O(alpha_s tan beta) corrections by squark-gluino subloops, which are possibly large and nondecoupling in the limit of heavy superpartners. In previous studies, the relevant two-loop Feynman integrals were approximated by using an effective two-Higgs-doublet lagrangian. However, this approximation is theoretically justified only when the typical supersymmetric scale M_SUSY is sufficiently larger than the electroweak scale m_weak \sim (m_W,m_t) and the mass of the charged-Higgs boson m_{H^\pm}. Here we evaluate these two-loop integrals exactly and compare the results with the existing, approximated ones. We then examine the validity of this approximation beyond the region where it has been derived, i.e. for m_H \gtap M_SUSY and/or M_SUSY \sim m_weak.

SUSY flavor structure of generic 5D supergravity models
We perform a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the SUSY flavor structure of generic 5D supergravity models on S1/Z2 with multiple Z2-odd vector multiplets that generate multiple moduli. The SUSY flavor problem can be avoided due to contact terms in the 4D effective Kähler potential peculiar to the multi-moduli case. A detailed phenomenological analysis is provided based on an illustrative model.
