Les Houches

• Study top mass dependence at NLO_FTapprox
• Compare to impact of HEJ (see slide 6)
• in HH, the effects were more sizeable [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.02463.pdf]; can we understand what differs for H+2j?
• A possible simple prescription for Powheg: use LO ratio (exact/HTL) evaluated on Born-projected kinematics as a first approximation.

Input parameters and settings

• $\sqrt{s} = 13.6\,\mathrm{TeV}$
• PDF set: PDF4LHC21_40
• $M_\mathrm{H} = 125.09\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• $m_\mathrm{t} = 172.5\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• $M_\mathrm{Z} = 91.1876\,\mathrm{GeV}$, $\Gamma_\mathrm{Z} = 2.4952\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• $M_\mathrm{W} = 80.379\,\mathrm{GeV}$, $\Gamma_\mathrm{W} = 2.085\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• G-mu scheme with $\alpha_{G_\mu} = 0.75652103079904\ldots \times 10^{-2}$ (from $G_\mu = 1.16638 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$)
• central scale choice: $\mu_0^2 = (M_\mathrm{H}/2) \, \sqrt{ (M_\mathrm{H}/2)^2 + p_\mathrm{T,H}^2 }$ (Eq.(2) of 1506.02660)

Event definition/selection:

• jets: anti-kT with $R=0.4$
• $p_{\mathrm{T},j} > 30\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• $|\eta_j| < 4.7$
• $m_{jj} > 300\,\mathrm{GeV}$
• $|\Delta y_{jj}| > 2$
• no rapidity selection on Higgs
