Higgs production in bottom quark annihilation: Transverse momentum distribution at NNLO+NNLL

Understand

We present the inclusive transverse momentum distribution for Higgs bosons produced in bottom quark annihilation at the LHC.

• The results are obtained in the five-flavor scheme.
• The soft and collinear terms at small $p_T$ are resummed through NNLL accuracy and matched to the NNLO transverse momentum distribution at large $p_T$.
• We find that the theoretical uncertainty, derived from a variation of the unphysical scales entering the calculation, is significantly reduced with respect to lower orders.
