TTP07-31 The MSSM Higgs sector and B-Bbar mixing for large tan(beta)

A systematic analysis of Higgs-mediated contributions to the Bd and Bs mass differences is presented in the MSSM with large values of tan(beta). In particular, supersymmetric corrections to Higgs self-interactions are seen to modify the correlation between Delta Mq and BR(Bq –> mu+ mu-) for light Higgses. The present experimental upper bound on BR(Bs –> mu+ mu-) is nevertheless still sufficient to exclude noticeable Higgs-mediated effects on the mass differences in most of the parameter space.
