SUSY QCD Corrections to Higgs-b Production : Is the Δ_b Approximation Accurate?

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The associated production of a Higgs boson with a b quark is a discovery channel for the lightest MSSM neutral Higgs boson. We consider the SUSY QCD contributions from squarks and gluinos and discuss the decoupling properties of these effects. A detailed comparison of our exact order(alpha_s) results with those of a widely used effective Lagrangian approach, the Δ_b approximation, is presented. The Δ_b approximation is shown to accurately reproduce the exact one-loop SQCD result to within a few percent over a wide range of parameter space.
