abstract

We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections for Standard Model Higgs boson pair production inclusive cross section at hadron colliders within the large top-mass approximation. We provide numerical results for the LHC, finding that the corrections are large, resulting in an increase of ${\cal O}(20%)$ with respect to the next-to-leading order result at c.m. energy $\sqrt{s_H}=14\,\text{TeV}$. We observe a substantial reduction in the scale dependence, with overlap between the current and previous order prediction. All our results are normalized using the full top- and bottom-mass dependence at leading order. We also provide analytical expressions for the K factors as a function of $s_H$.

NNLO+PS Higgs-pair production in MiNNLOPS

hep-ph · 2026-06-03 · conditional · novelty 7.0

NNLO+PS matching for gluon-fusion Higgs pair production is implemented in MiNNLOPS with approximate top-mass effects, validated against fixed-order NNLO and compared to GENEVA, with results for decay channels and trilinear coupling variations.
