We present results for the Higgsstrahlung process within the geneva Monte Carlo framework.

The beam thrust resummation is carried out to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, consistently incorporating all singular virtual and real NNLO corrections. It thus provides a natural perturbative connection between the NNLO calculation and the parton shower regime, including a systematic assessment of perturbative uncertainties. In this way, observables which are inclusive over the additional radiation are correct to NNLO, while the description of 0-jet -like resummation variables is improved beyond the parton shower approximation. We provide predictions for the 13 TeV LHC.

Abstract

We present results for the Higgsstrahlung process within the geneva Monte Carlo framework. We combine the fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculation with the higher-order resummation in the 0-jettiness resolution variable (beam thrust). The resulting parton-level events are further showered and hadronized by pythia8. The beam thrust resummation is carried out to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, consistently incorporating all singular virtual and real NNLO corrections. It thus provides a natural perturbative connection between the NNLO calculation and the parton shower regime, including a systematic assessment of perturbative uncertainties. In this way, observables which are inclusive over the additional radiation are correct to NNLO, while the description of 0-jet -like resummation variables is improved beyond the parton shower approximation. We provide predictions for the 13 TeV LHC.
