Description

Production of Higgs bosons accompanied by a large transverse momentum jet at hadron colliders via a top quark loop is calculated to lowest order QCD. Analytic expressions for the matrix elements, including the decay H→VV→four massless fermions (V=W,Z), are presented. The dependence of the matrix elements on the mass of the top quark exchanged in the loop in all regions of phase space is studied in detail. The Hj signal is compared with the background arising from VVj and V+3 jet production for LHC and SSC energies. (orig.)
