The transverse-momentum distribution of the Higgs boson at the LHC
Abstract
We present QCD 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 predictions available at present for this observable, show a good stability with respect to theoretical uncertainties. The numerical program HqT, used to perform the calculation, is briefly discussed.
