Higgs boson production at the LHC: transverse-momentum resummation and rapidity dependence

Abstract

We consider Higgs boson production by gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We study the doubly-differential transverse-momentum (q_T) and rapidity (y) distribution of the Higgs boson in perturbative QCD. In the region of small q_T (q_T << M_H, M_H being the mass of the Higgs boson), we include the effect of logarithmically-enhanced contributions due to multiparton radiation to all perturbative orders. We use the impact parameter and double Mellin moments to implement and factorize the multiparton kinematics constraint of transverse- and longitudinal-momentum conservation. The logarithmic terms are then systematically resummed in exponential form. At small q_T, we perform the all-order resummation of large logarithms up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while at large q_T (q_T ~ M_H), we apply a matching procedure that recovers the fixed-order perturbation theory up to next-to-leading order. We present quantitative results for the differential cross section in q_T and y at the LHC, and we comment on the comparison with the q_T cross section integrated over y.
