Loop corrections to the neutral Higgs boson sector of the MSSM with explicit CP violation

We compute one-loop corrections to the mass matrix of the neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with explicit CP violation. We use the effective potential method, allowing for arbitrary splitting between squark masses. We include terms O(g(2)h(2)), where g and h stand for electroweak gauge and Yukawa couplings, respectively. Leading two-loop corrections are taken into account by means of appropriately defined running quark masses. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
