Radiative corrections to pair production of charged Higgs bosons in e(+)e(-) collisions

Charged Higgs particles are a common feature of many extensions of the Stan dard Model. While its existence with masses up to the TeV scale can be prob ed at the Tevatron Run II and LHC hadron colliders, a precise determination of its properties would have to wait for a high energy e(+)e(-) linear col lider. We have computed the complete one-loop electroweak corrections to th e cross-section for charged Higgs bosons pair production in e+e- collisions , in the framework of general Two Higgs Doublet Models, as well as the Mini mal Supersymmetric Standard Model. A study is presented for typical values of the model parameters, showing the general behaviour of the corrections. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
