Soft gluon resummation for associated $t \bar{t} H$ production at the LHC

Understand

We perform resummation of soft gluon corrections to the total cross section for the process $pp \to t\bar{t}H$.

• The resummation is carried out at next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) accuracy using the Mellin space technique, extending its application to the class of $2 \to 3$ processes.
• We present an analytical result for the soft anomalous dimension for a hadronic production of two coloured massive particles in association with a colour singlet.
• We discuss the impact of resummation on the numerical prediction for the associated Higgs boson production with top quarks at the LHC.
