Production of Higgs bosons in proton colliders. QCD corrections

  • 1. Inst. fuer Physik, RWTH Aachen (Germany)

Description

Gluon fusion is the main production mechanism for Higgs bosons in pp collisions at LHC and SSC. We present the QCD corrections to the fusion cross section in the Higgs mass range below the top-antitop threshold: gg→H(g), gq→Hq and qanti q→Hg. The QCD corrections increase the cross section σ(pp→H) by about 50%. [We have also determined the QCD corrections to the gluonic width of the Higgs boson H→gg(g) and gqanti q which, for the intermediate mass range, can be measured in e+e- colliders. The corrections are large, being of the order of 60%.]
