Higgs boson production in association with a jet at NNLO using jettiness subtraction
read the original abstract
We use the recently proposed jettiness-subtraction scheme to provide the complete calculation of Higgs boson production in association with a jet in hadronic collisions through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. This method exploits the observation that the $N$-jettiness event-shape variable completely describes the singularity structure of QCD when final-state colored particles are present. Our results are in agreement with a recent computation of the $gg$ and $qg$ partonic initial states based on sector-improved residue subtraction. We present phenomenological results for both fiducial cross sections and distributions at the LHC.

$N$-Jettiness Soft Functions Made Simple
A decomposition splits the most singular dipole term of the N-jettiness soft function into an inclusive soft function and a remainder that is absent at NLO, finite at NNLO, and subtractable at N3LO, enabling NNLO resu...

Les Houches study on inclusive jet production at NNLO+NNLL
NNLL resummation shows that scale variations drastically underestimate higher-order uncertainties in NNLO inclusive jet cross sections for typical jet radii, rendering such estimates unreliable.
