Methods for Higgs boson production at N3LO∗

چکیده

We discuss methods for the calculation of the total partonic Higgs boson production cross section via gluon fusion and the result for the contribution that stems from two quarks of different flavor in the initial state. Our calculation is exact in the Higgs boson mass and the partonic center-of-mass energy. The result is expressed in terms of iterated integrals, some of which are Harmonic Polylogarithms, whereas others are new iterated integrals. We comment on the methods relevant for the reduction to scalar integrals and new types of function that appear in the final result.

Associated production of Higgs boson with vector boson at threshold NLO in QCD

We present the results for the associated production of Higgs boson with vector boson computed at threshold N3LO in QCD. We use the recently available result of the threshold contributions to the inclusive Drell-Yan production cross-section at third order in the strong coupling constant. We have implemented it in the publicly available computer package vh@nnlo, thereby obtaining the numerical i...

SusHi Bento: Beyond NNLO and the heavy- top limit

Version 1.6.0 of the code SusHi is presented. Concerning inclusive CP-even Higgs production in gluon fusion, the following new features with respect to previous versions have been implemented: expansion of the partonic cross section in the soft limit, i.e. around x = M H/ŝ → 1; N3LO QCD corrections in terms of the soft expansion; top-quark mass suppressed terms through NNLO; matching to the cro...

HIGLU and HDECAY: Programs for Higgs Boson Production at the LHC and Higgs Boson Decay Widths

The total cross section for Higgs boson production via the dominant gluon fusion mechanism including NLO [two-loop] QCD corrections can be calculated numerically with the program HIGLU. The QCD corrections are included for arbitrary Higgs and quark masses and increase the cross section at the LHC by up to a factor of 2. The source code HIGLU provides the evaluation of the production of the Stan...

Higgs–Boson Production Induced by Bottom Quarks

Bottom quark–induced processes are responsible for a large fraction of the LHC discovery potential, in particular for supersymmetric Higgs bosons. Recently, the discrepancy between exclusive and inclusive Higgs boson production rates has been linked to the choice of an appropriate bottom factorization scale. We investigate the process kinematics at hadron colliders and show that it leads to a c...

Differential cross sections for Higgs boson production at tevatron collider energies.

The transverse momentum Q(T) distribution is computed for inclusive Higgs boson production at sqrt[S]=1.96 TeV. We include all-orders resummation of large logarithms associated with emission of soft gluons at small Q(T). We provide results for Higgs boson and Z* masses from M(Z) to 200 GeV. The relatively hard transverse momentum distribution for Higgs boson production suggests possibilities fo...
