Next-to-leading Corrections to the Higgs Boson Transverse Momentum Spectrum in Gluon Fusion
We present a fully analytic calculation of the Higgs boson transverse
momentum and rapidity distributions, for nonzero Higgs , at
next-to-leading order in the infinite-top-mass approximation. We separate the
cross section into a part that contains the dominant soft, virtual, collinear,
and small--enhanced contributions, and the remainder, which is
organized by the contributions due to different parton helicities. We use this
cross section to investigate analytically the small- limit and compare
with the expectation from the resummation of large logarithms of the type
. We also compute numerically the cross section at moderate
where a fixed-order calculation is reliable. We find a -factor
that varies from , and a reduction in the scale dependence, as
compared to leading order. Our analysis suggests that the contribution of
current parton distributions to the total uncertainty on this cross section at
the LHC is probably less than that due to uncalculated higher orders.Comment: 40 pages, 10 figures, JHEP style (minor changes, added reference
Higgs Boson Production in Association with Three Jets
The scattering amplitudes for Higgs + 5 partons are computed, with the Higgs
boson produced via gluon fusion in the large top-quark mass limit. A
parton-level analysis of Higgs + 3 jet production via gluon fusion and via
weak-boson fusion is presented, and the effectiveness of a central-jet veto is
analysed.Comment: 26 pages, 4 Postscript figures, uses JHEP3.cl
Scalar and Pseudoscalar Higgs Boson Plus One Jet Production at the LHC and Tevatron
The production of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in association with
a jet is compared with that of the lightest scalar Higgs boson (h^0) and the
pseudoscalar Higgs boson (A^0) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) at
both the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Fermilab Tevatron. We include
both top and bottom quark loops to lowest order in QCD and investigate the
limits of zero quark mass and infinite quark mass.Comment: 14 pages, REVTeX4, 14 eps figures v2: Version accepted for

Non-perturbative effects and the resummed Higgs transverse momentum distribution at the LHC
We investigate the form of the non-perturbative parameterization in both the
impact parameter (b) space and transverse momentum (p_T) space resummation
formalisms for the transverse momentum distribution of single massive bosons
produced at hadron colliders. We propose to analyse data on Upsilon
hadroproduction as a means of studying the non-perturbative contribution in
processes with two gluons in the initial state. We also discuss the theoretical
errors on the resummed Higgs transverse momentum distribution at the LHC
arising from the non-perturbative contribution.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure
Differential Cross Section for Higgs Boson Production Including All-Orders Soft Gluon Resummation
The transverse momentum distribution is computed for inclusive Higgs
boson production at the energy of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We focus on
the dominant gluon-gluon subprocess in perturbative quantum chromodynamics and
incorporate contributions from the quark-gluon and quark-antiquark channels.
Using an impact-parameter -space formalism, we include all-orders
resummation of large logarithms associated with emission of soft gluons. Our
resummed results merge smoothly at large with the fixed-order
expectations in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, as they should, with no
need for a matching procedure. They show a high degree of stability with
respect to variation of parameters associated with the non-perturbative input
at low . We provide distributions for Higgs boson masses
from to 200 GeV. The average transverse momentum at zero rapidity
grows approximately linearly with mass of the Higgs boson over the range ~GeV. We provide analogous results
for boson production, for which we compute GeV. The
harder transverse momentum distribution for the Higgs boson arises because
there is more soft gluon radiation in Higgs boson production than in
production.Comment: 42 pages, latex, 26 figures. All figures replaced. Some changes in

Joint Resummation for Higgs Production
We study the application of the joint resummation formalism to Higgs
production via gluon-gluon fusion at the LHC, defining inverse transforms by
analytic continuation. We work at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We find
that at low Q_T the resummed Higgs Q_T distributions are comparable in the
joint and pure-Q_T formalisms, with relatively small influence from threshold
enhancement in this range. We find a modest (about ten percent) decrease in the
inclusive cross section, relative to pure threshold resummation.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures as eps file
