Soft-gluon resummation for Higgs differential distributions at the Large Hadron Collider
Abstract
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).
