The di-photon decay channel of the lightest Higgs boson is considerd as a probe to explore CP violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing is considered along with CP violation entering through the Higgs-sfermion-sfermion couplings, with and without light sparticles. The impact of a light stop on the decay width and Branching Ratio (BR) is established through a detailed study of the amplitude of the process H1 --> gamma.gamma. The other sparticles have little influence even when they are light. With a suitable combination of other MSSM parameters, a light stop can change the BR by more than 50 % with a CP-violating phase phi_mu ~ 90 deg., while the change is almost nil with a heavy stop.

The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation is studied with the help of the di-photon decay channel of the lightest neutral Higgs boson. Effects of CP violation, entering via the scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing at higher order as well as through the Higgs-sfermion-sfermion couplings at tree-level, are analyzed in the MSSM with and without light sparticles. A light stop may have a strong impact on the decay width and Branching Ratio (BR) of the decay process H_1 -> gamma gamma, whereas other light sparticles have only little influence. In some regions of the MSSM parameter space with large CP-violating phase phi_mu ~ 90 degrees a light stop can change the BR by more than 50%.
Physical Higgs particles in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation are CP mixed states. The decay of these Higgs particles can be analysed to study the CP properties of the MSSM. In the present work we consider the di-photon channel of the lightest neutral Higgs boson for this purpose. Compared to earlier studies on effects of scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing, our analysis also investigates the effect due to Higgs-sfermion-sfermion couplings along with that of mixing. We find that a light stop may have a strong impact on the width and Branching Ratio (BR) of the decay process H1 --> gamma.gamma, whereas other light sparticles have only little influence. In some regions of the MSSM parameter space with large CP-violating phase phi-mu ~ 90 deg a light (~ 200 GeV) stop can change the di-photon BR by more than 50 % compared to the case with heavy (~ 1 TeV) stop and otherwise same MSSM parameters.
The MSSM with explicit CP violation is studied through the di-photon decay channel of the lightest neutral Higgs boson. Through the leading one-loop order H1 --> gammar.gamma is affected by a large number of Higgs-sparticle couplings, which could be complex. Our preliminary scan over the Supersymmetric parameter space shows that more than 50% average deviations are possible, in either direction, in the corresponding branching ratio, with respect to the case of the CP-conserving MSSM. In particular, our analysis shows that in the presence of a light stop (with mass ~ 200 GeV) a CP-violating phase Arg(mu) ~ 90(deg) can render the H1 --> gamma.gamma branching ratio more than 10 times larger, for suitable combinations of the other MSSM parameters.
The neutral Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in explicit CP violation scenario is investigated at the one-loop level. Within the context of the effective potential formalism, the masses of the neutral Higgs bosons are calculated at the one-loop level by taking into account the contributions of the following loops of ordinary particles and superpartners: top quark, the scalar top quarks, bottom quark, the scalar bottom quarks, tau lepton, the scalar tau leptons, $W$ boson, the charged Higgs boson, the charginos, $Z$ boson, the scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons, and the neutralinos. Our calculation is an improvement in the sense that both the terms which are quartic in the electroweak coupling constants into account, and the pseudoscalar Higgs loop contribution are explicitly included.
We study the neutral Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation at the one-loop level. We take into account the one-loop contributions by the top quark, the stop quarks, the bottom quark, the sbottom quarks, the tau lepton, the stau leptons, the $W$ boson, the charged Higgs boson, the charginos, the $Z$ boson, the neutral Higgs bosons, and the neutralinos. The production cross sections of the neutral Higgs boson are calculated to the leading order. The processes in our consideration are divided in two groups: the Higgs-strahlung and gluon fusion processes accessible at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the vector boson fusion and Higgs-strahlung processes accessible at the $e^+e^-$ International Linear Collider (ILC). In particular, we investigate the dependence of these processes on the CP phase arising from the U(1) factor of the gaugino mass in the neutralino mass matrix. We show that the cross sections of these processes vary by the range of 3% $-$ 19 % as the CP phase changes from zero to $pi$.
