Supersymmetric Quantum Effects on the hadronic width of a heavy charged Higgs boson in the MSSM

Abstract

We discuss the QCD and leading electroweak corrections to the hadronic width of the charged Higgs boson of the MSSM. In our renormalization framework, tan(beta) is defined through Gamma(H^+ -> tau^+ nu_{tau}). We show that a measurement of the hadronic width of H^\pm and/or of the branching ratio of its tau-decay mode with a modest precision of ~20% could be sufficient to unravel the supersymmetric nature of H^\pm in full consistency with the low-energy data from radiative B-meson decays.
