Abstract
We present the results of a detailed simulation study of Higgs boson production via vector boson fusion (VBF) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the presence of anomalous couplings. The analysis utilizes the Herwig event generator interfaced with VBFNLO, employing a multi-jet merging scheme that combines NLO accurate matrix elements for Higgs plus 2- and 3-jet multiplicities with LO accurate matrix elements for Higgs plus 4-jet multiplicities. We investigate both matching and merging setups to consistently combine these hard scattering processes with QCD parton showers. Finally, we demonstrate the robustness of azimuthal angle observables against QCD radiative corrections across these frameworks.
