Description
We consider the production of a boosted Higgs boson in association with a charged weak ($W$) boson from proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Using the $q_T$-slicing formalism, we obtain the first fully differential predictions for this process at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in perturbative QCD.
In the boosted regime, the N$^3$LO corrections are about $+2\%$, and remain outside the scale envelope of the previous order. At the same time, the dependence of the N$^3$LO prediction on perturbative scales is reduced to below the percent level.
This result marks an important milestone towards meeting the Higgs precision goals for the LHC and its High-Luminosity phase.
