Higgs production in bottom quark annihilation: Transverse momentum distribution at NNLO +NNLL
Abstract
We present the inclusive transverse momentum distribution for Higgs bosons produced in bottom quark annihilation at the LHC. The results are obtained in the five-flavor scheme. The soft and collinear terms at small pT are resummed through NNLL accuracy and matched to the NNLO transverse momentum distribution at large pT. We find that the theoretical uncertainty, derived from a variation of the unphysical scales entering the calculation, is significantly reduced with respect to lower orders.
