Improvements in Higgs-mass predictions with $\texttt{FeynHiggs}$

Abstract

Recent developments in the public code FeynHiggs for the prediction of the Standard Model-like Higgs mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are presented. Improvements in the prediction based on an effective-field theory concern the cases of multi-scale hierarchies where the gluino is much heavier than the sfermions or where the additional Higgs bosons have masses between the electroweak and supersymmetry scales. The fixed-order part is improved by a re-implementation and extension of the two-loop corrections, now containing the contributions of orders (cid:0) 𝛼 𝑡 + 𝛼 𝑏 (cid:1) · (cid:0) 𝛼 𝑡 + 𝛼 𝑏 + 𝛼 𝑠 (cid:1) in the limit of vanishing electroweak gauge couplings for all implemented renormalization schemes. The updated version has a significantly improved numerical stability and thus an enhanced range of applicability for scenarios with heavy supersymmetric particles. All updates will be included in the upcoming version FeynHiggs-2.19.0 .
