Non-perturbaitve effects in Higgs boson decays to electroweak vector bosons and photons
Alexander Khodjamirian, Kirill Melnikov, Arkady Vainshtein
We estimate the magnitude of the leading non-perturbative QCD corrections to the decays of the Higgs boson to the and final states. These corrections originate from the l…
Parton-shower and fixed-order QCD effects in Higgs-boson production in weak-boson fusion and its decays to bottom quarks

Recently, it was observed [arXiv:2407.09363] that an aggressive cut on the -jets' transverse momenta applied to Higgs-boson production in weak-boson fusion followed by the decay…

Anomalous Higgs boson couplings in weak boson fusion production at NNLO in QCD

The production of Higgs bosons in weak boson fusion has the second largest cross section among Higgs-production processes at the LHC. As such, this process plays an important role…
