Strong and electroweak corrections to the production of Higgs+2jets via weak interactions at the LHC

Understand

Radiative corrections of strong and electroweak interactions are presented at next-to-leading order for the production of a Higgs boson plus two hard jets via weak interactions at the LHC.

• The calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark-antiquark annihilation diagrams as well as the corresponding interferences.
• The electroweak corrections, which are discussed here for the first time, reduce the cross sections by 5%, and thus are of the same order of magnitude as the QCD corrections.
• As argued in previous papers, where s-channel diagrams and interferences were neglected, the QCD corrections connected to interference effects are small.
