==== HJ/HH/ZH/H* Mass Scheme Uncertainties ====

**Project Description**

Study of top-quark mass scheme uncertainties (MSbar/OS) in Higgs processes:
  * HH (LO/NLO)
  * HJ (LO/NLO asymptotic expansion)
  * ggHZ vs ggZZ (LO)
  * H* (LO/NLO)

Open Questions:
  * How are these various processes affected by the mass scheme uncertainty?
  * To what extent is this problem coming from "Triangle-type" topologies vs "Box-type" topologies? (See for example expanded result of Steinhauser et al.)
  * Can we say anything about what is a sensible (or not sensible) choice of scheme?
  * Should we be treating masses running in the loops differently from those entering the Yukawa couplings?
  * How much of this behaviour is due to the mass dependence of the Yukawa vs. top quarks in loop?
  * How large is this uncertainty in the context of the onshell/ofshell Higgs measurements?
