With the growing precision of experimental measurements, combining fixed-order perturbative calculations with parton-shower effects becomes essential for an accurate description of LHC phenomenology. In this talk, we present novel calculations of Higgs production in association with bottom quarks ($b\bar{b}H$), computed at NNLO accuracy and matched to parton showers (NNLO+PS), using the...

The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago and successful measurement of the Higgs boson couplings to third generation fermions by ATLAS and CMS mark great milestones for HEP. The much weaker coupling to the second generation quarks predicted by the SM makes the measurement of the Higgs-charm coupling much more challenging. With the full run-2 data and with the advent of ML flavour tagging...

Probing the Yukawa couplings between the Higgs boson and fermions is essential to understanding the origin of fermion masses. Higgs boson decays into pairs of quarks offer a direct window into these couplings and broader Higgs boson properties. This talk presents ATLAS measurements of Higgs decays into bottom quark pairs and searches for decays into charm quark pairs, based on the full Run 2...

LHCb is a spectrometer that covers the forward region of proton-proton collisions, in the pseudo rapidity range from 2 to 5. Thanks to its excellent vertex reconstruction system, it has already demonstrated its capability to identify heavy flavour jets. Moreover, the b- and c-jet identification is a crucial ingredient for the search of H->bb and H->cc at LHCb. In this talk, new methods used at...

The Standard Model predicts several rare Higgs boson processes, including decays into a Z boson and a photon, a low-mass lepton pair and a photon, or a meson and a photon. Observing these rare decays would offer new and complementary insights into the Higgs boson's coupling structure beyond the more commonly studied channels. In addition, searches for lepton-flavor-violating decays of the...

The full set of data collected by CMS experiment at a centre of mass energy of 13 TeV allows searches for rare production modes of the Higgs boson, subdominant with respect the ones already observed at the LHC, by using a variety of decay modes profiting of the ones with largest expected branching fractions. We also discuss rare Higgs boson decay channel searches with the CMS experiment....

We investigate the renormalization group scale and scheme dependence of the $H \rightarrow gg$ decay rate at the order N$^4$LO in renormalization-group summed perturbative theory, which employs the summation of all renormalization-group accessible logarithms including the leading and subsequent four sub-leading logarithmic contributions to the full perturbative series expansion. The...

We discussion an extension of the NNPDF4.0 parton distribution functions (PDFs) to approximate N$^3$LO. We assess the perturbative stability of the resulting PDFs and study the impact of missing higher order uncertainties, NLO QED corrections and the photon PDF, and we compare our results to the aN$^3$LO PDFs from the MSHT group. We present predictions for the total inclusive cross-section for...

Francesco Giovanni Celiberto (UAM Madrid)07/07/2025, 15:40T08 - Higgs PhysicsParallel
Recent studies of high-energy inclusive Higgs boson hadroproduction rates, incorporating fixed-order N$^3$LO QCD corrections, have demonstrated that high-energy resummation effects can contribute up to 10\% at the nominal energies of the FCC. This finding underscores the importance of resummation physics for electroweak processes at 100 TeV. We present new predictions for rapidity and...

We present the program package ${\tt ggxy}$, which in its first version can be used to calculate partonic and hadronic cross sections to Higgs boson pair production at NLO QCD. The 2-loop virtual amplitudes are implemented using analytical approximations in different kinematic regions, while all other parts of the calculation are exact. This implementation allows to freely modify the masses of...

The virtual corrections for $gg \to HH$ at NLO QCD have been efficiently approximated using a Taylor expansion in the limit of a forward kinematics. The same method has been recently applied to the calculation of a subset of the NNLO corrections, which are desirable given the significant impact, at NLO, of the uncertainty due to the choice of the top mass renormalization scheme. In this talk,...

Measurement of the Higgs boson self interaction is one of the main goals at the high luminosity phase of LHC. A promising channel for this is the simultaneous production of two Higgs bosons from gluon-gluon fusion. For the interpretation of the measured data, a theoretical prediction of similar precision is needed. Following current projections this requires electroweak corrections at...

One of the LHC's priorities, following the discovery of the Higgs boson, is to observe the production of Higgs pairs and to measure the Higgs tri-linear coupling $\lambda_{3H}$.
Due to the rarity of di-Higgs production, measuring $\lambda_{3H}$ has proven to be highly challenging. Exclusion limits have been observed using a variety of approaches, including cut-based methods and boosted...

We investigate the size of interference effects between resonant and non-resonant contributions to di-Higgs production in the singlet extension of the Standard Model, where the additional heavy scalar provides a resonant channel.

Extra light scalars are still not excluded by the existing experimental constraints, provided their coupling to the SM gauge bosons is sufficiently suppressed. They could be produced at the e$^+$e$^-$ Higgs factory in a scalar-strahlug process, analogous to the Higgs-strahlung process being the dominant production channel for the 125 GeV Higgs boson. This was selected as one of the focus...

The rare decay process $H \to Z \gamma$ has been investigated by both the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, with both reporting an event excess characterized by $\mu = 2.2 \pm 0.7$. This anomaly was initially attributed to potential modifications of the $HZ\gamma$ vertex. However, since the $H \to Z \gamma$ signal is reconstructed via the $H \to \ell \ell \gamma$ channel, background...

We study the quantum properties of the Higgs-boson decays into four fermions via two vector bosons $(H\to VV^*\to 4f)$. In particular, we focus on the case of two different-flavour lepton pairs $(H\to ZZ^*\to \mu^+\mu^- e^+ e^-)$. We compute the quantum-information observables for the corresponding two-qutrit system $(ZZ)$ at next-to-leading order electroweak (NLO EW) accuracy in the SM. We...

To fully characterize the Higgs boson, it is important to establish whether it presents coupling properties that are not expected in the Standard Model of particle physics. These can probe BSM effects, such as CP conserving or CP violating couplings to particles with masses not directly accessible at the LHC through virtual quantum loops.
