Higgs + 2 jets via gluon fusion
Real emission corrections to gg -> H, which lead to H+2 jet events, are
calculated at order alpha_s^4. Contributions include top-quark triangles, boxes
and pentagon diagrams and are evaluated analytically for arbitrary top mass
m_t. This new source of H+2 jet events is compared to the weak-boson fusion
cross section for a range of Higgs boson masses. The heavy top-mass
approximation appears to work well for intermediate Higgs-boson masses,
provided that the transverse momenta of the final-state partons are smaller
than the top-quark mass.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
The One-Loop One-Mass Hexagon Integral in D=6 Dimensions
We evaluate analytically the one-loop one-mass hexagon in six dimensions. The
result is given in terms of standard polylogarithms of uniform transcendental
weight three.Comment: 9 page
Kinematical Limits on Higgs Boson Production via Gluon Fusion in Association with Jets
In this paper, we analyze the high-energy limits for Higgs boson plus two jet
production. We consider two high-energy limits, corresponding to two different
kinematic regions: a) the Higgs boson is centrally located in rapidity between
the two jets, and very far from either jet; b) the Higgs boson is close to one
jet in rapidity, and both of these are very far from the other jet. In both
cases the amplitudes factorize into impact factors or coefficient functions
connected by gluons exchanged in the t channel. Accordingly, we compute the
coefficient function for the production of a Higgs boson from two off-shell
gluons, and the impact factors for the production of a Higgs boson in
association with a gluon or a quark jet. We include the full top quark mass
dependence and compare this with the result obtained in the large top-mass
limit.Comment: 35 pages, 6 figure
Symbols of One-Loop Integrals From Mixed Tate Motives
We use a result on mixed Tate motives due to Goncharov
(arXiv:alg-geom/9601021) to show that the symbol of an arbitrary one-loop
2m-gon integral in 2m dimensions may be read off directly from its Feynman
parameterization. The algorithm proceeds via recursion in m seeded by the
well-known box integrals in four dimensions. As a simple application of this
method we write down the symbol of a three-mass hexagon integral in six
dimensions.Comment: 13 pages, v2: minor typos correcte
Forward jets and forward -boson production at hadron colliders
In this talk we give a short review of forward jets and forward -boson
production at hadron colliders, in view of the extraction of footprints of BFKL
physics. We argue that at Tevatron energies, dijet production at large rapidity
intervals is still subasymptotic with respect to the BFKL regime, thus the
cross section is strongly dependent on the various cuts applied in the
experimental setup. In addition, the choice of equal transverse momentum cuts
on the tagging jets makes the cross section dependent on large logarithms of
non-BFKL origin, and thus may spoil the BFKL analysis. For vector boson
production in association with two jets, we argue that the configurations that
are kinematically favoured tend to have the vector boson forward in rapidity.
Thus jet production lends itself naturally to extensions to the
high-energy limit.Comment: LaTeX, JHEP style, 10 pages, 3 figures. Based on a talk at EPS2001,
