QCD Corrections to Higgs Pair Production in Bottom Quark Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a complete next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation for the total cross section of inclusive Higgs pair production via bottom-quark fusion (bb̄ → hh) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the Standard Model. The NLO QCD corrections lead to less dependence on the renormalization scale (μR) and the factorization scale (μF ) than the leading-order (LO) cross section, and they significantly increase the LO cross section. The rate for inclusive Higgs pair production is small in the Standard Model, but can be large in models with enhanced couplings of the b quark to the Higgs bosons.

QCD corrections to production of Higgs pseudoscalars.
Models of electroweak symmetry breaking with more than a single doublet of Higgs scalars contain a neutral pseudoscalar boson. The production of such a pseudoscalar in hadron collisions proceeds primarily via gluon fusion through a top-quark loop (except for those models in which the pseudoscalar coupling to bottom quarks is strongly enhanced). We compute the QCD corrections to this process in ...
متن کاملSusHi 1.1.1: A program for the calculation of Higgs production in gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation in the Standard Model, the 2HDM and the MSSM
This article describes the code SusHi (for “Supersymmetric Higgs”) [1] which calculates the cross sections pp/pp → φ + X in gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation in the SM, the 2HDM and the MSSM, where φ is any of the neutral Higgs bosons within these models. Apart from inclusive cross sections up to NNLO QCD, differential cross sections with respect to the Higgs transverse momentum pT and...
متن کاملQCD Corrections to Scalar Production via Heavy Quark Fusion at Hadron Colliders
We recently proposed that, due to the top-quark-mass enhanced Yukawa coupling, the s-channel production of a charged scalar or pseudo-scalar from heavy quark fusion can be an important new mechanism for discovering non-standard spin-0 particles. In this work, we present the complete O(αs) QCD corrections to this s-channel production process at hadron colliders, and also the results of QCD resum...
متن کاملVirtual corrections to Higgs boson pair production in the large top quark mass limit
We calculate the three-loop matching coefficient CHH , required for a consistent description of Higgs boson pair production in gluon fusion through next-to-next-toleading order QCD in the heavy top quark approximation. We also compute the gg → HH amplitude in mt → ∞ approximation in the full theory and show its consistency with an earlier computation in heavy-top effective theory. ∗On leave of ...
متن کاملAssociated production of a top quark and a charged Higgs boson
1550-7998=20 We compute the inclusive and differential cross sections for the associated production of a top quark along with a charged Higgs boson at hadron colliders to next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and in supersymmetric QCD. For small Higgs boson masses we include top-quark pair production diagrams with subsequent top-quark decay into a bottom quark...
