NNLO predictions for the Higgs boson signal in the H → WW → lνlν and H → ZZ → 4l decay channels
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider Standard Model Higgs boson production by gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We present a calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the cross section in the H → WW → lνlν and H → ZZ → 4l decay channels. The calculation is implemented in the parton level Monte Carlo program HNNLO and allows us to apply arbitrary cuts on the final state leptons and the associated jet activity. We present selected numerical results for the signal cross section at the LHC, by using all the nominal cuts proposed for the forthcoming Higgs boson search.

HNNLO: a Monte Carlo program to compute Higgs boson production at hadron colliders
We consider Higgs boson production through gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We present a numerical program that computes the cross section up to NNLO in QCD perturbation theory. The program includes the decay modes H → γγ , H → WW → lνlν , H → ZZ → 4 leptons, and allows the user to apply arbitrary cuts on the momenta of the partons and of the photons or leptons that are produced in the ...

The study of the spin-parity and tensor structure of the interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson is performed using the H → ZZ; Zγ ; γ γ → 4l, H → WW → lνlν, and H → γγ decay modes. The full data set recorded by the CMS experiment during the LHC run 1 is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.1 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeVand up to 19.7 fb−1 at 8 TeV....
