Abstract

We suggest some predictions for Standard Model Higgs boson production in association with gauge bosons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 14 TeV. Our calculation includes the NLO QCD corrections to these processes using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO event generator. We study the impacts of these corrections on the total cross sections and various kinematical distributions.
