Higgs mass dependence of top quark pair threshold production to order αα s
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider the production of top quark pairs close to threshold and compute the dependence on the Higgs boson mass to order αα s. This requires the evaluation of the matching coefficient of the vector current to two-loop level and the inclusion of Higgs mass dependent operators in the non-relativistic effective theory. For Higgs boson masses below 200 GeV moderate contributions to the top quark mass and the peak cross section are observed. We also provide additional information to the on-shell wave function renormalization which is relevant for the matching coefficient.

Higher - Order Soft Corrections to Lepton Pair and Higgs Boson Production
Utilizing recent three-loop results on the quark and gluon splitting functions and form factors, we derive the complete threshold-enhanced third-order (N 3 LO) QCD corrections to the total cross sections for the production of lepton pairs and the Higgs boson in hadron collisions. These results, for the latter case obtained in the heavy top-quark limit, are employed to extend the threshold resum...
متن کاملHiggs boson pair production at the LHC: top-quark mass effects at next-to-leading order
Higgs boson pair production is considered at next-to-leading order with special emphasis on the effect of a finite top quark mass. It is shown that, unlike for single-Higgs boson production, power-suppressed corrections are numerically important.

متن کاملMeasuring the running top - quark mass
We present the first direct determination of the running top-quark mass based on the total cross section of top-quark pair-production as measured at the Tevatron. Our theory prediction for the cross section includes various next-to-next-to-leading order QCD contributions, in particular all logarithmically enhanced terms near threshold, the Coulomb corrections at two loops and all explicitly sca...
متن کاملCharged Higgs Production: Higher-Order Corrections
I present a calculation of higher-order radiative corrections to charged Higgs production in association with a top quark via the process bg → tH −. Results for charged Higgs production at the LHC are presented, including the dependence of the cross section on the charged Higgs mass, the top quark mass, the factorization and renormalization scales, and tan β. I show that the theoretical predict...
