Standard Model Higgs boson production in association with a top anti-top pair at NLO with parton showering
We present predictions for the production cross section of a Standard Model
Higgs boson in association with a top-antitop pair at next-to-leading order
accuracy using matrix elements obtained from the HELAC-Oneloop package. The NLO
prediction was interfaced to the PYTHIA and HERWIG shower Monte Carlo programs
with the help of POWHEG-Box, allowing for decays of massive particles,
showering and hadronization, thus leading to final results at the hadron level.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure

Physics at Future Hadron Colliders
We discuss the physics opportunities and detector challenges at future hadron colliders. As guidelines for energies and luminosities we use the proposed luminosity and/or energy upgrade of the LHC (SLHC), and the Fermilab design of a Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC). We illustrate the physics capabilities of future hadron colliders for a variety of new physics scenarios (supersymmetry, strong electroweak symmetry breaking, new gauge bosons, compositeness and extra dimensions). We also investigate the prospects of doing precision Higgs physics studies at such a machine, and list selected Standard Model physics rates.We discuss the physics opportunities and detector challenges at future hadron colliders.

Les Houches 2013: Physics at TeV Colliders: Standard Model Working Group Report
This Report summarizes the proceedings of the 2013 Les Houches workshop on
Physics at TeV Colliders. Session 1 dealt primarily with (1) the techniques for
calculating standard model multi-leg NLO and NNLO QCD and NLO EW cross sections
and (2) the comparison of those cross sections with LHC data from Run 1, and
projections for future measurements in Run 2.Comment: Proceedings of the Standard Model Working Group of the 2013 Les

The Higgs Working Group: Summary Report 2003
Theoretical progress in Higgs boson production and background processes is
discussed with particular emphasis on QCD corrections at and beyond
next-to-leading order as well as next-to-leading order electroweak corrections.
The residual theoretical uncertainties of the investigated processes are
estimated in detail. Moreover, recent investigations of the MSSM Higgs sector
and other extensions of the SM Higgs sector are presented. The potential of the
LHC and a high-energy linear e+e- collider for the measurement of Higgs
couplings is analyzed.Comment: 169 pages, Proceedings 3rd Les Houches Workshop: Physics at TeV
