Improved MSSM Higgs mass calculation using the 3-loop FlexibleEFTHiggs approach including x t -resummation

We present an improved calculation of the light CP-even Higgs boson pole mass in the MSSM based on the FlexibleEFTHiggs hybrid method. The calculation resums large logarithms to all orders and includes power-suppressed terms at fixed order. It uses state-of-the-art 2- and 3-loop matching of the quartic Higgs coupling and renormalization group running up to 4-loop, resulting in a resummation of large logarithmic corrections up to N3LL level. A conceptually novel ingredient is the expansion of the matching conditions in terms of high-scale MSSM parameters instead of SM parameters. In this way leading QCD-enhanced terms in the stop-mixing parameter are effectively resummed, leading to an improved numerical convergence of the perturbative expansion. Furthermore, the avoidance of double counting of loop corrections is more transparent than in other approaches and more independent of the high-scale model. We present numerical results and a detailed discussion of theoretical uncertainties for standard benchmark scenarios.
