Abstract
The helicity amplitudes for the process $\gamma \gamma \to A^0 A^0 $ are studied to 1-loop order in the minimal SUSY (MSSM) model, where A0 is the CP-odd Higgs particle. Simple exact analytic formulae are obtained in terms of the C0 and D0 Passarino-Veltman functions, in spite of the fact that the loop diagrams often involve different particles running along their sides. For a usual mSUGRA set of parameters, $\sigma (\gamma \gamma \to A^0 A^0) \sim 0.1$-0.2fb is expected. If SUSY is realized in nature, these expressions should be useful for understanding the Higgs sector.
