Standard Model Higgs cross sections (NLO) and PYTHIA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent NLO results of the SM Higgs cross section at the LHC differ by factors of up to 2 from the LO cross section estimates currently used inside PYTHIA. We propose a scheme on how these NLO results can be used consistently inside the PYTHIA Monte Carlo simulations. Numerical results for Higgs are given for three recent parton distribution functions, MRS(R1), GRV(94)HO and CTEQ4M. For completeness we also present the latest theoretical branching ratios (NLO and beyond) of the most promising Higgs decay signatures for Higgs masses between 80 GeV and 1 TeV.

Cross-sections and branching ratios for charged Higgs searches
For the preparation of the experimental search for charged Higgs bosons at the LHC detailed studies have been made to determine the expected charged Higgs boson production cross-sections and decay branching ratios at √ s = 14 TeV. In the mass regime below the t-quark mass the expected production cross-sections are discussed using PYTHIA and FeynHiggs program packages based on the decay t → Hb. ...
متن کاملThe FMNR⊗Pythia interface for Heavy Quark production at HERA
A method to calculate heavy flavor visible-level cross sections at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), based on an interface of the FMNR program to Pythia, is described. It uses the NLO prediction at quark level provided by FMNR, with a statistical reduction procedure (REDSTAT) that allows a link to Pythia 6.2 to be made, from where the description of the full hadron fr...
متن کاملThe pp̄ → tbH Process at the Tevatron in HERWIG and PYTHIA Simulations
Charged Higgs boson production in association with a top quark could be the first indication of the existence of Higgs particles. The Tevatron Run-II started data-taking in April 2001 at √ s = 1960 GeV and could probe the existence of a charged Higgs boson beyond the current mass limit. We study the pp̄ → tbH± production process with Monte Carlo simulations in HERWIG and PYTHIA, comparing expect...
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 کاملSusHi 1.1.1: A program for the calculation of Higgs production in gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation in the Standard Model, the 2HDM and the MSSM
This article describes the code SusHi (for “Supersymmetric Higgs”) [1] which calculates the cross sections pp/pp → φ + X in gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation in the SM, the 2HDM and the MSSM, where φ is any of the neutral Higgs bosons within these models. Apart from inclusive cross sections up to NNLO QCD, differential cross sections with respect to the Higgs transverse momentum pT and...
