One-Loop Yukawa Corrections to the Process pp -> b anti-b H in the Standard Model at the LHC: Landau Singularities

Understand

We calculate the leading electroweak (EW) corrections to the important process of Higgs production associated with two bottom quarks at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

• Our study is restricted to the Standard Model (SM).
• At tree-level Higgs production in association with a b-quark pair proceeds through the small Yukawa bottom coupling in the Standard Model.
• Even in the limit where this coupling vanishes, EW one-loop effects, through the top-Higgs Yukawa coupling in particular, can still trigger this reaction.
