Finite top mass effects for hadronic Higgs production at next-to-next-to-leading order
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first four terms of an expansion in M H /M t of the total inclusive cross section for Higgs production in gluon fusion are evaluated through next-to-next-to-leading order QCD. A reliable and precise approximation of the full top mass dependence at NNLO is derived and compared to the frequently used heavy-top limit. It is found that both results agree numerically to better than 0.5% in the Higgs mass range of 100300 GeV. This validates the higher order results for the inclusive Higgs cross section and justifies the heavy-top limit as a powerful tool for Higgs phenomenology at the LHC and the Tevatron.

Higgs 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 کاملHiggs boson production at LHC to NNLO accuracy and finite top quark mass effects
In this contribution we consider the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson to next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy taking into account a finite top quark mass. This result improves the one based on the effective theory and is important for precise predictions of Higgs boson production both at Tevatron and LHC. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Att...
متن کاملBeyond Heavy Top Limit in Higgs Boson Production at Lhc
QCD corrections to inclusive Higgs boson production at the LHC are evaluated at next-tonext-to leading order. By performing asymptotic expansion of the cross section near the limit of infinitely heavy top quark we obtained a few first top mass-suppressed terms. The corrections to the hadronic cross sections are found to be small compared to the scale uncertainty, thus justifying the use of heav...
متن کاملEffects of supersymmetric QCD in hadronic Higgs production at next-to-next-to-leading order
An estimate of the next-to-next-to-leading order ~NNLO! supersymmetric QCD effects for Higgs production at hadron colliders is given. Assuming an effective gluon-Higgs interaction, these corrections enter only in terms of process-independent, factorizable terms. We argue that the current knowledge of these terms up to NLO is sufficient to derive the NNLO hadronic cross section within the limita...
متن کاملProduction of a pseudo-scalar Higgs boson at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to leading order
The production cross section for pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons at hadron colliders is computed at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. The pseudo-scalar Higgs is assumed to couple only to top quarks. The NNLO effects are evaluated using an effective Lagrangian where the top quarks are integrated out. The NNLO corrections are similar in size to those found for scalar Higgs boson production.
