CP-violating Higgs boson production in association with three jets via gluon fusion

TL;DR

This paper investigates CP-violating Higgs boson production with three jets at the LHC, analyzing the effects of bottom-quark loops and effective theory approximations on differential distributions.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of triple real emission corrections and the validity of the heavy-top effective theory for CP-violating Higgs production with three jets.

Findings

Bottom-quark loops significantly affect differential distributions.

Heavy-top effective theory approximation has limited validity for this process.

Triple real emission corrections are essential for accurate predictions.

Abstract

In these proceedings, we present results for Higgs production at the LHC via gluon fusion with triple real emission corrections and the validity range of the heavy-top effective theory approximation for this process. For a general CP-violating Higgs boson, we show that bottom-quark loop corrections in combination with large values of $\tan \beta $ significantly distort differential distributions.
