Bosonic Thermal Masses in Supersymmetry

preprint1996arXivOpen access

Abstract

Effective thermal masses of bosonic particles in a plasma play an important role in many different phenomena. We compute them in general supersymmetric models at leading order. The origin of different corrections is explicitly shown for the formulas to be applicable when some particles decouple. The correct treatment of Boltzmann decoupling in the presence of trilinear couplings and mass mixing is also discussed. As a relevant example, we present results for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
