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 th…
Parton-shower and fixed-order QCD effects in Higgs-boson production in weak-boson fusion and its decays to bottom quarks
Arnd Behring, Kirill Melnikov, Ivan Novikov +1
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…
A fresh look at the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme: NNLO QCD corrections to -gluon final states in annihilation
Federica Devoto, Kirill Melnikov, Raoul Röntsch +2
We describe how the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme [1] can be used to compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the production of an arbitrary n…
production at the LHC within SMEFT at next-to-next-to-leading order QCD
Marco Bonetti, Robert V. Harlander, Dmitrii Korneev +4
We study the impact of and interactions, originating from dimension-six operators of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), on the Higgs bo…
Linear power corrections to single top production and decay at the LHC in the narrow width approximation
Sergei Makarov, Kirill Melnikov, Paolo Nason +1
We consider top quark production and decay in the narrow width approximation and study if the polarisation effects, that manifest themselves in correlations of angular distribution…
