Bottom-induced contributions to Higgs plus jet at next-to-next-to-leading order

Understand

We present a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD calculation of the bottom-induced contributions to the production of a Higgs boson plus a jet, i.e.

• the process $p p \rightarrow H +j$ to $\mathcal{O}(y_b^2 \alpha_s^3)$.
• We work in the five-flavor scheme (5FS) in which the bottom quark mass is retained only in the coupling to the Higgs boson.
• Our calculation uses $N$-jettiness slicing to regulate infrared divergences, allowing for fully-differential predictions for collider observables.
