Description

The ZH process is an important contributor to the production of Higgs bosons, especially when considering decays to bottom quarks. To suppress backgrounds, the boosted phase space region is of interest which gets sizable contributions from additional jet radiation. We discuss a fully differential calculation of ZH+jet production including leptonic decays of the Z boson at NLO QCD and its implementation in the Monte Carlo program VBFNLO. Furthermore we take a look at anomalous couplings in the EW part of the cross section.
