Conclusions  Low energy supersymmetry has an important impact on Higgs physics.  It leads to definite predictions to the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and gauge bosons.  It leads to definite predictions to the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and gauge bosons.  Such couplings, however, are affected by radiative corrections induced by supersymmetric particle loops. It affects Higgs searches at hadron and lepton colliders in an important way.  QCD and SUSY quantum corrections to lead to crucial  QCD and SUSY quantum corrections to lead to crucial effects in the interpretation of searches from top decays at the Tevatron effects in the interpretation of searches from top decays at the Tevatron  Tau Lepton polarization is a powerful discriminative characteristic to separate charged Higgs signal  two representative scenarios with tH + b suppressed/enhanced couplings shown for ILC.  two representative scenarios with tH + b suppressed/enhanced couplings shown for ILC.  Fit to pion spectra from polarized tau decays allows to extract light charged Higgs masses with (theoretical study, but only info Higgs masses with (theoretical study, but only info on from used!) on from used!)
