Electroweak Radiative Corrections to Higgs Production via Vector Boson Fusion using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

Understand

Soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) is applied to compute electroweak radiative corrections to Higgs production via gauge boson fusion, q q -> q q H.

• There are several novel features which make this process an interesting application of SCET.
• The amplitude is proportional to the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV), and so is not a gauge singlet amplitude.
• Standard resummation methods require a gauge singlet operator and do not apply here.
