55. Double Higgs production in the 2b2ɣ decay channel with MATRIX

Paolo Garbarino

Joint: New techniques & Higgs, EW, and BSM

Standard slot

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is collecting an incredible amount of data, allowing for precise comparisons between theory predictions and experimental measurements in order to further test the Standard Model and possible New Physics scenarios.
Theoretical computations involving heavy resonances mostly focused on fully-leptonic decays, mainly due to the huge simplifications arising when...

23. Hunting the unseen: Boosting Semi-Visible Jet via Jet Substructure metrics

Mr Miguel Angel Avendano Bernal (University of Southampton)

Joint: New techniques & Higgs, EW, and BSM

Standard slot

In the study of dark matter detection at colliders, novel candidates have emerged to bridge between experimental data and theoretical models. Dark Showers (DS) are being studied as an extension of the Standard Model (SM), containing both invisible and visible particles that allow us to predict scenarios involving collider observables. Among these, Semi-Visible Jets (SVJs), represent a novel...

19. MiNNLOps for ttH: first NNLO+PS predictions at the LHC

Chiara Savoini (Technical University of Munich (TUM))

Joint: New techniques & Higgs, EW, and BSM

Standard slot

We present the first NNLO+PS simulation of Higgs-boson production in association with a top-quark pair ($t \bar t H$) at the LHC.
The calculation is performed within the MiNNLOps framework and combines NNLO QCD corrections with parton-shower effects in a fully differential Monte Carlo event generator (publicly available).
Since the exact two-loop amplitude is not yet known, we employ two...

75. NNLO+PS Higgs-pair production in MiNNLOPS

Francesco Garosi (Max Planck Institut für Physik)

Joint: New techniques & Higgs, EW, and BSM

Standard slot

While many of the Higgs couplings have already been measured with remarkable precision, the structure of the Higgs potential is still largely unconstrained. In this context, Higgs-boson pair production plays a special role, as it provides direct access to the Higgs self-coupling.
In this talk, I will present results for Higgs-boson pair production in gluon fusion at hadron colliders at...

95. Resonance aware MC@NLO QCD+EW matched parton showers

Joanne Roper (Durham University)

Joint: New techniques & Higgs, EW, and BSM

Standard slot

Parton showers are an essential feature of event generation that provide a numerical resummation of the large logarithms that enhance soft and collinear radiation. Matching them to higher order calculations requires careful treatment in order to avoid double-counting real radiation and preserve fixed order accuracy through matching algorithms such as MC@NLO. As we approach HL-LHC, there is a...
