Mixed QCD-electroweak contributions to Higgs-plus-dijet production at the LHC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a calculation of interference effects in Hjj production via gluon fusion and via vector boson fusion, respectively, beyond tree level. We reproduce results recently discussed in the literature, but go beyond this calculation by including a class of diagrams not considered previously. Special care is taken in developing a numerically stable and flexible parton level Monte-Carlo program which allows us to study cross sections and kinematic distributions within experimentally relevant selection cuts. Loop-induced interference contributions are found to exhibit kinematical distributions different in shape from vector boson fusion. Due to the small interference cross section and cancelation among different quark flavor contributions their impact on the signal process is found to be negligible in all regions of phase space, however.

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.

We calculate next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production. Both vector boson fusion (VBF) and Higgs-strahlung type contributions are included along with all interferences. The calculation is implemented within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator.
متن کاملElectroweak 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...

Strong and electroweak NLO corrections to Higgs-boson production in vector-boson fusion at the LHC
We present results on the strong and electroweak NLO corrections to the production of a Higgs boson plus two hard jets via weak interactions at the LHC. The calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark– antiquark annihilation diagrams as well as all related interferences. We discuss corrections of different origin (QCD corrections of vector-boson-fusion type and interferences, electrowe...
