The high-energy limit of H+2 jet production via gluon fusion

Abstract

We consider Higgs + 2 jet production via gluon fusion in the limit where either one of the Higgs-jet or the dijet invariant masses become much larger than the typical momentum transfers in the scattering. These limits also occur naturally in Higgs production via weak-boson fusion. We show that the scattering amplitudes factorize in the high energy limit, and we obtain the relevant effective vertices.
