Production of neutral scalar Higgs bosons at $eγ$ colliders

Abstract

We study the production of neutral scalar (CP even) Higgs bosons in the process $eγ\to e h$ by including supersymmetric corrections to the dominant $t$-channel photon exchange amplitude. In addition to the standard model $W^{\pm}$ and fermion loops, there are substantial contributions from chargino loops. For some cases, these contributions can exceed those of the $W$'s and ordinary fermions. The cross sections in this channel are generally one or two orders of magnitude larger than those in the related channel $e\bar{e}\toγh$.
