Higgs-boson production via bottom-quark fusion
Higgs-boson production via bottom-quark fusion
Higgs bosons with enhanced coupling to bottom quarks are copiously produced at hadron colliders via $b\overline{b}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}h,$ where the initial b quarks reside in the proton sea. We reexamine the calculation of the next-to-leading-order cross section for this process and argue that the appropriate factorization scale for the b distribution functions …
