Jens Vollinga
TL;DR
This paper provides a calculation estimating NNLO contributions to Higgs production via weak boson fusion, confirming the channel's viability for Higgs discovery at the LHC by showing minimal impact from higher-order corrections.
Contribution
It introduces a calculation method to estimate NNLO effects in Higgs production through weak boson fusion, supporting the channel's robustness for Higgs searches.
Findings
NNLO contributions are small after weak boson cuts
The weak boson fusion channel remains promising for Higgs discovery
Higher-order corrections do not significantly deteriorate the channel's effectiveness
Abstract
We present a calculation that allows for an estimation of the NNLO contributions to the Higgs production in the weak boson fusion channel. A possible deterioration of this important channel for the Higgs discoveries at the LHC can be ruled out by this calculation due to the small remaining cross section after the weak boson cuts.
