Description
The Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) predicts the
existence of new charged and neutral Higgs bosons. The pair creation of these new
particles at the multi-TeV e+e- Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), followed by decay
cascades into Standard Model particles, were simulated along with the corresponding
background. Beam-beam effects such as ISR, beamstrahlung and hadronic background were
included. We have investigated the possibility of using the ratio between the number
of events found in various decay channels to determine the MSSM parameter tan(beta)
and we have derived the corresponding statistical error from the uncertainties on the
measured cross-sections and Higgs boson masses.
