Third-Order Logarithmic Resummation for Jet-Vetoed Higgs Production

Samuel Abreu, Jonathan R. Gaunt, Pier Francesco Monni +2

Jet vetoes are central to precision measurements of Higgs-boson properties at the Large Hadron Collider, where they are used to suppress backgrounds containing hard QCD radiation.…

Three-loop rapidity anomalous dimension for jet-veto cross sections

Samuel Abreu, Jonathan R. Gaunt, Pier Francesco Monni +2

We present the first calculation of the third-order corrections to the rapidity anomalous dimension for jet-veto cross sections. This is a crucial ingredient for the resummation of…

Top-Antitop Production and Decay at Threshold at the LHC in QCD Perturbation Theory

Paolo Nason, Giovanni Pelliccioli, Emanuele Re +1

In this work we consider the production of a top-antitop pair at the LHC when the mass of the pair is relatively near to the nominal threshold, that is to say to twice the top pole…

On Thrust Resummation Ambiguities in Annihilation into Hadrons

Luca Buonocore, Paolo Nason, Luca Rottoli +1

In shape-variable studies, and in particular for the case of thrust, fixed-order QCD predictions are typically supplemented with the resummation of contributions enhanced…

Constraining the Higgs potential using multi-Higgs production

Jia-Le Ding, Zach Gillis, Ulrich Haisch +10

The Higgs self-couplings remain only weakly constrained by current Large Hadron Collider (LHC) measurements, leaving ample room for physics beyond the Standard Model that could mod…
