NNLO QCD$\oplus$QED corrections to Higgs production in bottom quark annihilation

Understand

We present next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections to the production of the Higgs boson in bottom quark annihilation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the five flavor scheme.

• We have systematically included the NNLO corrections resulting from the interference of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and QED interactions.
• We have investigated the infrared (IR) structure of the bottom quark form factor up to two loop level in QED and in QCD$\times$QED using K+G equation.
• We find that the IR poles in the form factor are controlled by the universal cusp, collinear and soft anomalous dimensions.
