Scalar Particle Contribution to Higgs Production via Gluon Fusion at NLO
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the gluon fusion production cross section of a scalar Higgs boson in models where fermion and scalar massive colored particles are present. We report analytic expressions for the matrix elements of gg → Hg, qq̄ → Hg, and qg → Hq processes completing the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections in these extended scenarios. The formulas are written in a complete general case, allowing a flexible use for different theoretical models. Applications of our results to two different models are presented: i) a model in which the SM Higgs sector is augmented by a weak doublet scalar in the SU(Nc) adjoint representation. ii) The MSSM, in the limit of neglecting the gluino contribution to the cross section.

Di-photon production at the LHC
One of the primary goals of the LHC is to provide clues to the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. In the standard model this symmetry breaking is provided by the condensation of a fundamental weak scalar doublet, which leaves behind a single neutral scalar, the Higgs boson, as residue. This standard model Higgs boson is constrained by precision electroweak measurements to have mH < ∼ 196–...
متن کاملNLO Higgs boson production via gluon fusion matched with shower in POWHEG
Abstract: We present a next-to-leading order calculation of Higgs boson production via gluon fusion interfaced to shower Monte Carlo programs, implemented according to the POWHEG method. A detailed comparison with MC@NLO and PYTHIA is carried out for several observables, for the Tevatron and LHC colliders. Comparisons with next-to-next-to-leading order results and with resummed ones are also pr...
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...
متن کاملHiggs Production via Gluon-Induced Weak Boson Fusion
One of the primary goals of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that will go into full operation soon is to illuminate the electro-weak symmetry breaking mechanism. The favoured mechanism — the Higgs mechanism — predicts the existence of a Higgs boson. The Higgs boson will be produced at the LHC mainly through gluon fusion which has the largest cross section there. While for Higgs masses of mH...
متن کاملHiggs characterisation at NLO in QCD: CP properties of the top-quark Yukawa interaction
At the LHC the CP properties of the top-quark Yukawa interaction can be probed through Higgs production in gluon fusion or in association with top quarks. We consider the possibility for both CP-even and CP-odd couplings to the top quark to be present, and study CP-sensitive observables at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, including parton-shower effects. We show that the inclusion of NLO cor...
