Inadequacy of zero-width approximation for a light Higgs boson signal
Nikolas Kauer, Giampiero Passarino
In the Higgs search at the LHC, a light Higgs boson (115 GeV <~ M_H <~ 130 GeV) is not excluded by experimental data. In this mass range, the width of the Standard Model Higgs boso…
NLO automated tools for QCD and beyond
Nikolas Kauer
Theoretical predictions for scattering processes with multi-particle final states at next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative QCD are essential to fully exploit the physics pote…
Interference effects for H --> WW --> lvqq and H --> ZZ --> llqq searches in gluon fusion at the LHC
Nikolas Kauer, Claire O'Brien, Eleni Vryonidou
Signal-background interference effects are studied for H --> WW and H --> ZZ searches in gluon fusion at the LHC. More specifically, the interference in the channels with semilepto…
Off-shell Higgs signal and total width determination at the LHC
Nikolas Kauer
A substantial off-shell Higgs boson signal in the gluon fusion and vector boson fusion H --> ZZ and H --> WW channels at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facilitates a novel, comple…
NLO Cross Sections for the LHC using GOLEM: Status and Prospects
Thomas Binoth, Gavin Cullen, Nicolas Greiner +7
In this talk we review the GOLEM approach to one-loop calculations and present an automated implementation of this technique. This method is based on Feynman diagrams and an advanc…
Interference effects for H --> WW/ZZ --> l anti-nu_l anti-l nu_l searches in gluon fusion at the LHC
Nikolas Kauer
WW/ZZ interference for Higgs signal and continuum background as well as signal-background interference is studied for same-flavour l anti-nu_l anti-l nu_l final states produced in…
