Description

We present results for the Higgs production cross section in the gluon-gluon-fusion channel at next-to-next-to-leading order with finite quark masses. While the impact of finite quark masses are power-suppressed, the precision of state-of-the-art theory predictions makes an exact determination of this effect indispensable. With this result, we address one of the leading theory uncertainties of the cross section.
