Electroweak corrections to decays involving a charged Higgs boson

Abstract

We present complete one-loop radiative corrections to the decay rate of a top quark into a charged Higgs boson and a bottom quark, and for the decay of a charged Higgs boson into leptons. The results are discussed in the framework of the two Higgs boson extension of the Standard Model suggested by supersymmetry. The effect of electroweak corrections after exclusion of universal corrections $Δr$ is found to decrease the partial width of the top quark typically by 5%.
