On the Resummation of Large QCD Logarithms in Higgs -> 2 Photons Decay
R. Akhoury, H. Wang, O. Yakovlev
Abstract
We study the strong corrections to the Higgs coupling to two photons. This coupling is the dominant mechanism for Higgs production in photon-photon collisions. In addition, the two photon decay mode of the Higgs is an important and relatively background free channel of relevance at the LHC and the Tevatron. We develop a method for the resummation of large QCD corrections in the form of Sudakov-like logarithms of the type αsn2n(m/mH) and αsn2n-1(m/mH) (where m is the light quark mass) which can contribute to this process in certain models (for example, the MSSM for large tan β) up to next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The NLL correction is moderate, the substantial part of which comes from terms not related to running coupling effects.
