Calculations of Higgs x-sections at NkLO ATL-COM-PHYS-2009-161 A.-C. Bourgaux, M. Escalier, L. Fayard
Tools and parameters used Anastasiou Tools: FEHiP, HggTotal, HNNLO, HqT Factorisation (µF) and renormalisation (µR) scales : mF= mR in [mH/2 ; 2mH ] to limit computations (study in appendix) Pdf: mstw2008, (mrst 2004 for HqT) (study in appendix) default parameters used, while waiting for a common prescription: mt = 172.7 GeV for FEHiP, 178 GeV for HNNLO (study in appendix)
Total x-sections (100-800 GeV) • HNNLO mt ∞ No correction • FEHiP mt ∞ + correction: Opening of the on-shell phase-space Result table, approx of ∞ mass t; b appendix
Total x-sections with HggTotal Available : http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~babis/Software/ Good agreement with calculations by De Florian and Grazzini, with a different choice for mR and mF. Anastasiou : arXiv:0811.3458, arXiv:hep-ph/0207004 "We present results for the Higgs boson cross section accounting for these effects. We account for the effect of soft-gluon resummation at the Tevatron by presenting values for the scale choice µF = µR = MH /2, which is known to very accurately reproduce the reference value of the resummation result [21] for a wide range of Higgs boson masses, and provide an estimate of the remaining theoretical uncertainties arising from unknown higher-order terms and PDF errors."

PT of Higgs : HqT • Construction of the curve : • Resummed : divergent terms only « resummed »=exp(Sudakov factor) • Asymptotic : limit of perturbative order when PT0 : divergent terms only • Fix order : all perturbative developpement terms, including divergent terms • Matched = Resummed + Fix order - Asymptotic
Higgs PT, @ LO and NLO mH=125 GeV Normalized : ≠ from HNNLO Correction to pT(H) : appendix
resummation for low pTfix order for high pT HqT HNNLO Investigate resummation scale in the code ?
To be done : • Influence of resummation scale • Cuts influences in fehip and hnnlo for acceptances studies • Preliminary studies up to now…

Influence of µF µR Major effect: σ decreases with µR Minor effect: σ increases or decreases with µF depending on mass @ LO (same observations at NLO…), using mrst2001 Complete study in appendix
Influence of mt FEHiP mt ∞ + correction: HNNLO mt ∞ without correction mt : little influence HNNLO and FEHiP differences due to F(mt)
