NLO QCD Corrections to Electroweak Higgs Boson Plus Three Jet Production at the LHC

Electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at next-to-leading-order QCD.

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.

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...

Electroweak 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...

NLO Electroweak Corrections to Higgs Boson Production at

Results for the complete NLO electroweak corrections to Standard Model Higgs production via gluon fusion are included in the total cross section for hadronic collisions. Artificially large threshold effects are avoided working in the complex-mass scheme. The numerical impact at LHC (Tevatron) energies is explored for Higgs mass values up to 500 GeV (200 GeV). Assuming a complete factorization o...
