Higher order QCD corrections to Higgs boson production in weak boson fusion (A1c)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 396021762

The goal of this project is to advance the fixed-order QCD theory for the production of Higgs bosons in weak boson fusion, currently available at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) and to explore the relevance of other effects, such as Higgs boson decays and the so-called non-factorisable corrections, that may become important at this level of precision.
