Amplitudes for Higgs Bosons plus Four Partons

In this talk we consider amplitudes for processes involving a Higgs boson, either scalar or pseudoscalar, plus four light partons. These amplitudes are relevant to the production of a Higgs boson plus two jets in hadronic collisions. They are also relevant to calculating the transverse momentum spectrum for Higgs bosons at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We work in the limit that the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs bosons and use effective Lagrangians for the interactions of gluons with the Higgs bosons. We present the amplitudes involving a Higgs boson and: 1) four gluons, 2) two quarks and two gluons; and 3) four quarks. We show that the pseudoscalar amplitudes are nearly identical to those for the scalar case, the only differences being the overall size and the relative signs between terms.

Production of a Higgs Boson Plus Two Jets in Hadronic Collisions

We consider the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson accompanied by two jets in hadronic collisions. We work in the limit that the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs boson and use an effective Lagrangian for the interactions of gluons with the Higgs boson. In addition to the previously computed four-gluon process, we compute the the amplitudes involving two quarks, two gluons and the Higgs boson and those involving four quarks and the Higgs boson. We exhibit the form of our results in the small-p_H and factorization limits. We present numerical results for root S of 14 TeV and root S of 2 TeV. We find that the dominant processes are gg -> ggH and qg -> qg H with the former (latter) contributing about 60% (40%) of the cross section at root S of 14 TeV and the two processes each contributing about half the cross section at root S of 2 TeV. All other processes are negligible at both energies.
