abstract
We calculate the fully differential next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) corrections to vector-boson fusion (VBF) Higgs production at proton colliders, in the limit in which there is no cross-talk between the hadronic systems associated with the two protons. We achieve this using a new "projection-to-Born" method that combines an inclusive NNLO calculation in the structure-function approach and a suitably factorised next-to-leading-order (NLO) VBF Higgs plus 3-jet calculation, using appropriate Higgs plus 2-parton counter events. An earlier calculation of the fully inclusive cross section had found small NNLO corrections, at the 1% level. In contrast, the cross section after typical experimental VBF cuts receives NNLO contributions of about 4%, while differential distributions show corrections of up to 6-7% for some standard observables. The corrections are often outside the NLO scale-uncertainty band.

The integrated iterated single-unresolved approximate cross section in CoLoRFulNNLO for hadron collisions is a convolution of the Born cross section with an insertion operator.
Non-singlet fragmentation functions of pions and kaons are determined at NNLO QCD from charge asymmetry measurements in e+e- annihilation and SIDIS, yielding a scaling index of 0.7 and strangeness suppression of 0.5.
Two-loop leading-color helicity amplitudes for H+2 jets in the heavy-top limit are computed analytically and validated, enabling NNLO phenomenology and revealing an anomalous threshold.
N³LO QCD predictions for photon-pair production are presented, demonstrating perturbative convergence.
A method to approximate kinematic distributions from Monte Carlo events using coefficients of orthogonal basis functions produces smooth curves and removes bin-to-bin fluctuations in subtracted perturbative calculations.
NNLOCAL extends CoLoRFulNNLO to color-singlet processes using generic QCD IR factorization counterterms integrated analytically for stable NNLO LHC cross sections.
A framework based on the YFS theorem enables process-independent local IR subtraction and resummation matching for automated NNLO_EW calculations in lepton collider processes.
Combined CMS result gives α^{Hττ} = 7 ± 16° for the CP mixing angle in H→ττ, consistent with SM expectation of 0 ± 14°.
Reviews selected challenges in Monte Carlo event generators for future lepton colliders including electroweak corrections, initial-state radiation, beam dynamics, perturbative QCD and non-perturbative modelling.
