Higgs boson pair production at NNLO with top quark mass effects
2018
Overview
A
bstract
We consider QCD radiative corrections to Higgs boson pair production through gluon fusion in proton collisions. We combine the exact next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution, which features two-loop virtual amplitudes with the full dependence on the top quark mass
M
t
, with the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections computed in the large-
M
t
approximation. The latter are improved with different reweighting techniques in order to account for finite-
M
t
effects beyond NLO. Our reference NNLO result is obtained by combining one-loop double-real corrections with full
M
t
dependence with suitably reweighted real-virtual and double-virtual contributions evaluated in the large-
M
t
approximation. We present predictions for inclusive cross sections in
pp
collisions at
s
= 13, 14, 27 and 100 TeV and we discuss their uncertainties due to missing
M
t
effects. Our approximated NNLO corrections increase the NLO result by an amount ranging from +12% at
s
=
13
TeV to +7% at
s
=
100
TeV, and the residual uncertainty of the inclusive cross section from missing
M
t
effects is estimated to be at the few percent level. Our calculation is fully differential in the Higgs boson pair and the associated jet activity: we also present predictions for various differential distributions at
s
=
14
and 100 TeV, and discuss the size of the missing
M
t
effects, which can be larger, especially in the tails of certain observables. Our results represent the most advanced perturbative prediction available to date for this process.
