==== 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? ** References ** * [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.05692| Gluon fusion into Higgs pairs at NLO QCD and the top mass scheme ]] * [[https://indico.cern.ch/event/825291 |Slides (Michael Spira), 17 June]] * [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01092|High-Energy Limit of QCD beyond Sudakov Approximation]] * [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.04950|High-Energy Limit of Mass-Suppressed Amplitudes in Gauge Theories]] * [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.05489|Double Higgs boson production at NLO in the high-energy limit: complete analytic results]] * [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.06549|Two-loop amplitudes for processes gg→Hg,qg→Hq and qq¯→Hg at large Higgs transverse momentum]] **Interested Participants** * Javier Mazzitelli * Daniel de Florian * Stephen Jones * Michael Spira * Xuan Chen * Raoul Röntsch * Joey Huston * ...
