Title: QCD corrections to $Z Z$ production in gluon fusion at the LHC

Abstract

We compute the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to the production of two Z-bosons in the annihilation of two gluons at the LHC. Being enhanced by a large gluon flux, these corrections provide a distinct and, potentially, the dominant part of the N³LO QCD contributions to Z-pair production in proton collisions. The gg → ZZ annihilation is a loop-induced process that receives the dominant contribution from loops of five light quarks, that are included in our computation in the massless approximation. We find that QCD corrections increase the gg → ZZ production cross section by O(50%–100%) depending on the values of the renormalization and factorization scales used in the leading-order computation and the collider energy. Furthermore, the large corrections to the gg → ZZ channel increase the pp → ZZ cross section by about 6% to 8%, exceeding the estimated theoretical uncertainty of the recent next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD calculation.

Resummation of jet veto logarithms at $N^{3} {LL}_{a} + NNLO$ for $W^{+} W^{-}$ production at the LHC

We compute the resummed on-shell W+W- production cross section under a jet veto at the LHC to partial N3LL order matched to the fixed-order NNLO result. Differential NNLO cross sections are obtained from an implementation of qT subtraction in Sherpa. The two-loop virtual corrections to the qq¯→W+W- amplitude, used in both fixed-order and resummation predictions, are extracted from the public code qqvvamp. We perform resummation using soft collinear effective theory, with approximate beam functions where only the logarithmic terms are included at two-loop.

Next-to-leading order $γ γ + 2 - jet$ production at the LHC

Journal Article Bern, Z. ; Dixon, L. J. ; Febres Cordero, F. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We present next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for cross sections and for a comprehensive set of distributions in γγ+2-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We consider the contributions from loop amplitudes for two photons and four gluons, but we neglect top quarks. We use BlackHat together with SHERPA to carry out the computation. We use a Frixione cone isolation for the photons. We study standard sets of cuts on the jets and the photons and also sets of cuts appropriate for studying backgrounds to Higgs-boson production via vector-boson fusion.

Precision predictions at $N^{3} LO$ for the Higgs boson rapidity distribution at the LHC

Journal Article Dulat, Falko ; Mistlberger, Bernhard ; Pelloni, Andrea - Physical Review. D.

We present precise predictions for the Higgs boson rapidity distribution at the LHC in the gluon fusion production mode. Our approach relies on the fully analytic computation of six terms in a systematic expansion of the partonic differential cross section around the production threshold of the Higgs boson at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N³LO) in QCD perturbation theory. As a result, we observe a mild correction compared to the previous perturbative order and a significant reduction of the dependence of the cross section on the perturbative scale throughout the entire rapidity range.

Measurements of four-lepton production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$ with the ATLAS detector

Journal Article Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; Abdallah, J. ; ... - Physics Letters B

The four-lepton (4ℓ , ℓ=e,μℓ=e,μ) production cross section is measured in the mass range from 80 to 1000 GeV using 20.3 fb^-1 of data in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The 4ℓ events are produced in the decays of resonant Z and Higgs bosons and the non-resonant ZZ continuum originating from View the MathML sourceqq¯, gg, and qg initial states. A total of 476 signal candidate events are observed with a background expectation of 26.2±3.626.2±3.6 events, enabling the measurement of the integrated cross section and the differential cross section as a functionmore »« less
