Higgs boson production in bottom quark fusion at next-to-next-to-leading order
Higgs boson production in bottom quark fusion at next-to-next-to-leading order
The total cross section for Higgs boson production in bottom-quark annihilation is evaluated at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. This is the first time that all terms at order ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}^{2}$ are taken into account. We find a greatly reduced scale dependence with respect to lower order results, for both the factorization …
