QCD Corrections to Higgs Boson Production

Abstract

We discuss the $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s)$ QCD radiative corrections to Higgs boson production in the limit in which the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs boson. The subleading corrections, of $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s{M}_H^2/M_{\mathrm{top}}^2)$, are presented for the decay $H\to \gamma \gamma$ and shown to be small.
