| Predictions for Higgs signal and background processes with many-particle final states at the LHC |
| Speaker: | Priv.Doz. Dr. Stefan Dittmaier (MPI für Physik, München) |
| Abstract: | At the LHC, many interesting processes involve three or more particles in the final state. Such many-particle reactions often proceed via resonances that subsequently decay, or they represent a background to resonance processes. A thorough description of such processes requires the evaluation of strong and to some extent also of electroweak radiative corrections in next-to-leading order. While the gauge-invariant treatment of corrections to resonance processes is quite non-trivial conceptually, the technically most complicated part concerns the numerically stable evaluation of the one-loop tensor integrals. In this talk some recently proposed solutions and their applications are discussed. The latter, in particular, include strong and electroweak corrections to Higgs production via weak-boson fusion and to the Higgs-boson decay H -> WW/ZZ -> 4fermions, as well as QCD corrections to the important background processes pp -> ttbar+jet and pp -> WW+jet. |
