Title: Associated production of a Higgs boson at NNLO

Journal Article · · Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Here we present a Next-to-Next-to Leading Order (NNLO) calculation of the production of a Higgs boson in association with a massive vector boson. We also include the decays of the unstable Higgs and vector bosons, resulting in a fully flexible parton-level Monte Carlo implementation. We also include all $$\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$$ contributions that occur in production for these processes: those mediated by the exchange of a single off-shell vector boson in the $$s$$-channel, and those which arise from the coupling of the Higgs boson to a closed loop of fermions. Final states of interest for Run II phenomenology were studied, namely $$H\rightarrow b\bar{b}$$, $$\gamma\gamma$$ and $WW^*$. The treatment of the $$H\rightarrow b\bar{b}$$ decay includes QCD corrections at NLO. We use the recently developed $$N$$-jettiness regularization procedure, and study its viability in the presence of a large final-state phase space by studying $$pp\rightarrow V(H\rightarrow WW^*) \rightarrow$$ leptons.
