Soft-gluon resummation for Higgs differential distributions at the Large Hadron Collider
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the transverse-momentum (qT ) and rapidity (y) distributions of the Higgs boson in perturbative QCD, including the most advanced theoretical information presently available: fixed-order perturbation theory at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in the large-qT region (qT ∼ MH , being MH the Higgs mass), and soft-gluon resummation at the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithmic accuracy (NNLL) in the small-qT region (qT ≪ MH). We present numerical results for the doubly-differential (qT and y) cross section for the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Soft-gluon resummation for Higgs boson production at hadron colliders
We consider QCD corrections to Higgs boson production through gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We compute the cross section, performing the all-order resummation of multiple soft-gluon emission at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic level. Known fixed-order results (up to next-to-next-to-leading order) are consistently included in our calculation. We give phenomenological predictions fo...
متن کاملHiggs production in hadron collisions: soft and virtual QCD corrections at NNLO
We consider QCD corrections to Higgs boson production through gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. Using the recently evaluated [14]two-loop amplitude for this process and the corresponding factorization formulae [15, 16, 17, 18] describing soft-gluon bremsstrahlung at O(α2 S), we compute the soft and virtual contributions to the next-to-next-to-leading order cross section. We also discuss ...
متن کاملSoft-gluon Resummation for Pseudoscalar Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders
We compute the threshold-resummed cross section for pseudo-scalar MSSM Higgs boson production by gluon fusion at hadron colliders. The calculation is performed at next-to-next-to leading logarithmic accuracy. We present results for both the LHC and Tevatron Run II. We analyze the factorization and renormalization scale dependence of the results, finding that after performing the resummation the...
متن کاملNNNLO Soft-gluon Corrections for the Top-quark pT and Rapidity Distributions
I present a calculation of next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNNLO) soft-gluon corrections for differential distributions in top-antitop pair production in hadronic collisions. Approximate NNNLO (aNNNLO) results are obtained from soft-gluon resummation. Theoretical predictions are shown for the top-quark aNNNLO transverse momentum (pT ) and rapidity distributions at LHC and Tevatron energi...
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...
