On the interference of and Higgs production mechanisms and the determination of charm Yukawa coupling at the LHC
arXiv:2102.04242 · doi:10.1007/JHEP06(2021)107
Abstract
Higgs boson production in association with a charm-quark jet proceeds through two different mechanisms - one that involves the charm Yukawa coupling and the other that involves direct Higgs coupling to gluons. The interference of the two contributions requires a helicity flip and, therefore, cannot be computed with massless charm quarks. In this paper, we consider QCD corrections to the interference contribution starting from charm-gluon collisions with massive charm quarks and taking the massless limit, . The behavior of QCD cross sections in that limit differs from expectations based on the canonical QCD factorization. This implies that QCD corrections to the interference term necessarily involve logarithms of the ratio whose resummation is currently unknown. Although the explicit next-to-leading order QCD computation does confirm the presence of up to two powers of in the interference contribution, their overall impact on the magnitude of QCD corrections to the interference turns out to be moderate due to a cancellation between double and single logarithmic terms.
