Oblique corrections in the MSSM at one-loop. Part I: Scalars (Q903816)

Summary: This paper is devoted to reconsider the one-loop oblique corrections arising from the scalar superpartners in the MSSM, that is, the squarks, the sleptons, and the scalars in Higgs sector. We explicitly present the complete one-loop forms of self-energy corrections to the gauge bosons of SM electroweak gauge groups, as well as their descendants the \(S\), \(T\), and \(U\) parameters, which can be directly applied to constrain the parameter space of the MSSM. Our results about one-loop self energies are found to agree with [\textit{M. Drees}, \textit{K. Hagiwara} and \textit{A. Yamada}, ``Process-independent radiative corrections in the minimal supersymmetric standard model'', Phys. Rev. D (3) 45, No. 5, 1725--1743 (1992; \url{doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.45.1725})] and [\textit{D. M. Pierce} et al., ``Precision corrections in the minimal supersymmetric standard model'', Nucl. Phys., B 491, No. 1--2, 3--67 (1997; \url{doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(96)00683-9})]. Nevertheless, the \(S\), \(T\), and \(U\) parameters are not in agreement with [\textit{A. Dobado}, \textit{M. J. Herrero} and \textit{S. Peñaranda}, ``Decoupling of supersymmetric particles'', Eur. Phys. J. C, Part. Fields 7, No. 2, 313--339 (1999; \url{doi:10.1007/s100529800993})].
