SMEFT predictions for $gg\to hh$ at full NLO QCD and truncation uncertainties

Abstract

We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections for Higgs-boson pair production in gluon fusion including effects of anomalous couplings within Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We study effects of different truncation options of the EFT expansion in $1/\Lambda$ and of double operator insertions, both at total cross-section level as well as for the distribution of the invariant mass of the Higgs-boson pair, at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The NLO corrections are implemented in the generator $\texttt{ggHH_SMEFT}$ in the $\text{Powheg-Box-V2}$ framework.

arXiv comment20 pages, 4 figures; v2: matches the published version; v3: cf. erratum/addendum, results with a fix for the two-loop virtuals (where the bug was affecting results with chhh/ct != 1, or ctt != 0)
