What e+e- collider could make a ``no-lose'' search for MSSM Higgs bosons?
Abstract
The lightest CP-even Higgs boson h in the minimum supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) has a mass upper bound depending on the top quark and squark masses. An e+e- collider with enough energy and luminosity to produce h+Z at measurable rates up to the maximum h mass would cover the entire MSSM parameter space, if h+A production was also searched for. We explore the energy and/or luminosity needed for various top quark and squark masses. For mt=150\,GeV and 1\,TeV SUSY mass scale, a 230\,GeV collider with 10\,fb-1 luminosity would suffice.
