Two-loop QCD corrections to charged-Higgs-mediated $b\to s\gamma$ decay

The charged-Higgs-mediated contribution to the Wilson coefficient of the $b\to s\gamma$ magnetic penguin is expected to be one of the more promising candidates for a supersymmetric effect in B physics, probably the only one in gauge-mediated models. We compute the two-loop QCD correction to it. With naive dimensional regularization and MSbar subtraction, for reasonable values of the charged Higgs mass and for mu-bar = m_top, we find a (10–20)% reduction of the corresponding one-loop effect.
