The transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs boson at the LHC

Abstract

We present perturbative predictions for the transverse momentum (qT) distribution of the Higgs boson at the LHC. At small qT the logarithmically-enhanced terms are resummed to all orders up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The resummed component is consistently matched to the next-to-leading order calculation valid at large qT. The results, which implement the most advanced perturbative information that is available at present for this observable, show a good stability with respect to perturbative QCD uncertainties.
