NNLOPS accurate associated HW production
We present a next-to-next-to-leading order accurate description of associated
HW production consistently matched to a parton shower. The method is based on
reweighting events obtained with the HW plus one jet NLO accurate calculation
implemented in POWHEG, extended with the MiNLO procedure, to reproduce NNLO
accurate Born distributions. Since the Born kinematics is more complex than the
cases treated before, we use a parametrization of the Collins-Soper angles to
reduce the number of variables required for the reweighting. We present
phenomenological results at 13 TeV, with cuts suggested by the Higgs Cross
Section Working Group.Comment: Minor changes, plots updated, matches the version published in JHE
NNLOPS accurate associated HZ production with decay at NLO
International audienceWe present a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accurate description of associated HZ production, followed by the Higgs boson decay into a pair of b-quarks treated at next-to-leading order (NLO), consistently matched to a parton shower (PS). The matching is achieved by performing reweighting of the HZJ-MiNLO events, using multi-dimensional distributions that are fully-differential in the HZ Born kinematics, to the NNLO results obtained by using the MCFM-8.0 fixed-order calculation. Additionally we include the gg → HZ contribution to the discussed process that appears at the . We present phenomenological results obtained for 13 TeV hadronic collisions
