The transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs at large P_T is complicated by its dependence on three important energy scales: P_T, the top quark mass m_t, and the Higgs mass m_H. A strategy for simplifying the calculation of the cross section at large P_T is to calculate only the leading terms in its expansion in m t ² /P _T ² and/or m H ² /P _T ² . The expansion of the cross section in inverse powers of P_T is complicated by logarithms of P_T and by mass singularities. In this paper, we consider the top-quark loop contribution to the subprocess qq¯¯ → H + g at leading order in αs. We show that the leading power of 1/P _T ² can be expressed in the form of a factorization formula that separates the large scale P_T from the scale of the masses. All the dependence on m_t and m_H can be factorized into a distribution amplitude for tt¯ in the Higgs, a distribution amplitude for tt¯ in a real gluon, and an endpoint contribution. The factorization formula can be used to simplify calculations of the P_T distribution at large P_T to next-to-leading order in α_s. Here, the results are readily applied to the qg process via a straightforward analytical continuation.
