We present a calculation of the B⁰B⁰ mixing including next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections within the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). The QCD corrections at NLO are contained in the factor denoted by η₂ which modifies the result obtained at the lowest order of perturbation theory. In the Standard Model case, we confirm the results for η₂ obtained by Buras, Jamin and Weisz [Nucl. Phys, B 347 (1990) 491]. The factor η₂ is gauge and renormalization prescription invariant and it does not depend on the infrared behaviour of the theory, which constitutes an important test …
