Introduction WBF Corrections Outline of Calculation Renormalisation Results Calibration Process Summary Higgs propagator corrections in the MSSM The non-unitary ˆ Z matrix is given by √ Z h √ Z h Z hH √ Z h Z hA   √ Z H Z Hh √ Z H √ Z h Z HA ˆ Z =  √ Z h Z Ah √ Z A Z AH √ Z A  When producing a Higgs i , √ Z i is a normalisation factor (dependent on the ii propagator), and Z ij involves the ij propagator and takes account of diagrams where there is a tree level Higgs j connected directly to the vertex. These corrections can be very important numerically. They are calculated using FeynHiggs , which includes the dominant two-loop contributions as well as the full one-loop corrections.
