Fermion and Sfermion Effects in $e^+ e^-$ charged Higgs pair production

Abstract

Top and bottom one loop corrections to $e^+e^-\rightarrow H^+ H^-$ are considered at NLC energies and found to be significantly large and negative over the full range of $tan \, \beta$. Moreover, loop effects of moderately heavy squarks and sleptons in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, tend to cancel partly or fully these large corrections, thus providing a useful indirect information about the supersymmetric sector. The overall effect can still range between $-25 \%$ and $+25 \%$, however lies typically around $-10 \%$ in a wide range of the model parameters.
