Top-mass effects in differential Higgs production through gluon fusion at order α_s^4

arXiv:1206.0157 · doi:10.1007/JHEP08(2012)139

Abstract

Effects from a finite top quark mass on differential distributions in the Higgs+jet production cross section through gluon fusion are studied at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, i.e. . Terms formally subleading in are calculated, and their influence on the transverse momentum and rapidity distribution of the Higgs boson are evaluated. We find that, for the differential K-factor, the heavy-top limit is valid at the 2-3% level as long as the transverse momentum of the Higgs remains below about 150 GeV.
