Quark masses in Higgs production with a jet veto
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the impact of finite mass effects due to top and bottom loops in the jet-veto distribution for Higgs production. We discuss the appearance of non-factorizing logarithms in the region pt,veto & mb. We study their numerical impact and argue that these terms can be treated as a finite remainder. We therefore detail our prescription for resumming the jet-vetoed cross section and for assessing its uncertainty in the presence of finite mass effects. Resummation for the jet-veto, including mass effects, has been implemented in the public code JetVHeto.

Finite top-mass effects in gluon-induced Higgs production with a jet-veto at NNLO
Effects from a finite top quark mass on the H+ n-jet coss section through gluon fusion are studied for n = 0 /n � 1 at NNLO/NLO QCD. For this purpose, sub-leading terms in 1 /m t are calculated. We show that the asymptotic expansion of the jet-vetoed cross section at NNLO is very well behaved and that the heavy-top approximation is valid at the five permille level up to jet-veto cuts of 300 GeV...
متن کاملFinding the leptonic WW decay mode of a heavy Higgs boson at hadron supercolliders.
We reanalyze the extraction of the heavy Higgs boson signal H → WW → l̄ν, lν̄ (l = e or μ) from the Standard Model background at hadron supercolliders, taking into account revised estimates of the top quark background. With new acceptance criteria the detection of the signal remains viable. Requiring a forward jet-tag, a central jet-veto, and a large relative transverse momentum of the two charge...
متن کاملMonte Carlo generator for Higgs boson production from heavy quark fusion at LHC?
In this paper we argue that having available higher order fully exclusive Monte Carlo generator for Higgs boson production from heavy quark fusion will be mandatory for data analysis at LHC. The H → ττ channel, a key for early discovery of the Higgs boson in the MSSM scenario, is discussed. With simplified example and for mH = 120 GeV we show, that depending on choice among presently available ...
متن کاملDetecting heavy charged Higgs bosons at the LHC with triple b-tagging
We investigate the charged Higgs boson signal at the LHC using its dominant production and decay modes with triple b-tagging, i.e. tH → tt̄b → bb̄bWW, followed by leptonic decay of oneW and hadronic decay of the other. We consider the continuum background from the associated production of tt̄ with a bor a light quark or gluon jet, which can be mis-tagged as b-jet. We reconstruct the top quark mass...
متن کاملHiggs- and Z-boson production with a jet veto.
We derive first next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic resummations for jet-veto efficiencies in Higgs and Z-boson production at hadron colliders. Matching with next-to-next-to-leading order results allows us to provide a range of phenomenological predictions for the LHC, including cross-section results, detailed uncertainty estimates, and comparisons to current widely used tools.
