Abstract:
We present a detailed study of the decays of the neutral Higgs bosons H 0H~0 and A 0A~0 within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We find that the supersymmetric modes t~t~ˉ{\tilde{t}}\bar{\tilde{t}} and b~b~ˉ{\tilde{b}}\bar{\tilde{b}} can dominate the H 0H~0 and A 0A~0 decays in a wide range of the model parameters due to large Yukawa couplings and mixings of t~{\tilde{t}} and b~{\tilde{b}}. Compared to the conventional modes ttˉt\bar{t} and bbˉb\bar{b}, these modes have very distinctive signatures. This could have a decisive impact on the neutral Higgs boson searches at future colliders.
