Electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at next-to-leading-order QCD.

NLO QCD Corrections to Electroweak Higgs Boson Plus Three Jet Production at the LHC

The implementation of the full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at hadron colliders such as the LHC within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator is discussed. We present numerical results for integrated cross sections and kinematic distributions.

Beyond the t-channel Approximation: Next-to-Leading Order QCD Corrections to Electroweak Higgs Boson Plus Three Jet Production at the LHC

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z production via vector-boson fusion

The production of W or Z bosons in association with two jets is an important background to the Higgs boson search in vector-boson fusion at the LHC. The purely electroweak component of this background is dominated by vector-boson fusion, which exhibits kinematical distributions very similar to the Higgs boson signal. We consider the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z boson product...

Electroweak and QCD corrections to Higgs production via vector-boson fusion at the LHC

The radiative corrections of the strong and electroweak interactions are calculated at next-to-leading order for Higgs-boson production in the weak-boson-fusion channel at hadron colliders. Specifically, the calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark– antiquark annihilation diagrams to Higgs-boson production in association with two hard jets, including all corresponding interferences....

Electroweak Higgs plus Three Jet Production at NLO QCD

Higgs production via vector boson fusion (VBF) is an essential channel at the LHC for disentangling the Higgs boson’s coupling to fermions and gauge bosons. The observation of two tagging jets is crucial to reduce the backgrounds. Furthermore, the possibility to identify Higgs production via VBF is enhanced by being able to increase the signal to background ratio by vetoing additional soft radi...
