Soft and virtual corrections to pp → H + X at next - to - next - to - leading order

چکیده
The contributions of virtual corrections and soft gluon emission to the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section pp → H +X are computed at next-to-next-to-leading order in the heavy top quark limit. We show that this part of the total cross section is well behaved in the sense of perturbative convergence, with the NNLO corrections amounting to an enhancement of the NLO cross section by ∼ 5% for the CERN LHC and 10-20% for the Fermilab Tevatron. We compare our results with an existing estimate of the full NNLO effects and argue that an analytic evaluation of the hard scattering contributions is needed.

متن کاملThreshold corrections in bottom and charm quark hadroproduction at next-to-next-to-leading order
We calculate threshold soft-gluon corrections to total cross sections and transverse momentum distributions for bottom and charm quark production in fixed-target experiments, considering both pp and π−p interactions. We investigate the quality of the near threshold soft-gluon approximation at next-to-leading order (NLO) and calculate next-to-nextto-leading order (NNLO) corrections through next-...
متن کاملCollinear and soft gluon corrections to Higgs production at NNNLO
I present analytical expressions for the collinear and soft gluon corrections to Higgs production via the process b ¯ b → H as well as gg → H through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO). The soft corrections are complete while the collinear corrections include leading and some subleading logarithms. Numerical results at the Tevatron and the LHC are presented, primarily for b ¯ b → H. ...
متن کاملThreshold resummation for high-transverse-momentum Higgs production at the LHC
We study the resummation of large logarithmic QCD corrections for the process pp → H + X when the Higgs boson H is produced at high transverse momentum. The corrections arise near the threshold for partonic reaction and originate from soft gluon emission. We perform the all-order resummation at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and match the resummed result with the next-to-leading order per...
متن کاملHigher-Order Soft Gluon Corrections in Single Top Quark Production at the CERN LHC
I present a calculation of soft-gluon corrections to single top quark production in pp collisions at the LHC via the Standard Model partonic processes in the t and s channels and associated top quark and W boson production. Higher-order soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO) are calculated at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The soft-gluon correc...
