چکیده

The Higgs-boson production cross section at pp and pp colliders is calculated in QCD at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We find that the perturbative expansion of the production cross section is well behaved and that scale dependence is reduced relative to the NLO result. These findings give us confidence in the reliability of the prediction. We also report an error in the NNLO correction to Drell-Yan production.

Inclusive Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders at Next-to-next-to-leading Order

Inclusive production via gluon fusion will be the most important production channel for Higgs boson discovery at the LHC. I report on a calculation of the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section at pp and p¯ p colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD.

Production of a pseudo-scalar Higgs boson at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to leading order

The production cross section for pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons at hadron colliders is computed at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. The pseudo-scalar Higgs is assumed to couple only to top quarks. The NNLO effects are evaluated using an effective Lagrangian where the top quarks are integrated out. The NNLO corrections are similar in size to those found for scalar Higgs boson production.

Soft-gluon resummation for Higgs boson production at hadron colliders

We consider QCD corrections to Higgs boson production through gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We compute the cross section, performing the all-order resummation of multiple soft-gluon emission at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic level. Known fixed-order results (up to next-to-next-to-leading order) are consistently included in our calculation. We give phenomenological predictions fo...

Next-to-next-to-leading order soft and virtual corrections for QCD, Higgs and SUSY processes

I review recent advances in the calculation of higher-order soft-gluon corrections for a variety of QCD, Higgs, and SUSY processes in hadron colliders. A unified approach and master formulas for next-to-next-to-leading order soft and virtual corrections are discussed. I present some applications of the formalism to top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the LHC, top production via anomal...

Higgs boson production at the LHC: NNLO partonic cross sections through order ǫ and convolutions with splitting functions to NLO

We consider Higgs boson production at hadron colliders in the gluon fusion channel and compute higher order terms in the regularization parameter ǫ. In particular, the next-to-next-to-leading order cross section is evaluated including order ǫ terms. These results are used to compute all convolutions with the splitting functions entering the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order cross section. P...
