The first combination of NLO QCD matrix elements for di-Higgs production, retaining the full top quark mass dependence, with a parton shower was presented in this paper.
Abstract
We present the first combination of NLO QCD matrix elements for di-Higgs production, retaining the full top quark mass dependence, with a parton shower. Results are provided within both the POWHEG-BOX and MadGraph5_aMC@NLO Monte Carlo frameworks. We assess in detail the theoretical uncertainties and provide differential results. We find that, as expected, the shower effects are relatively large for observables like the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson pair, which are sensitive to extra radiation. However, these shower effects are still much smaller than the differences between the Born-improved HEFT approximation and the full NLO calculation in the tails of the distributions.

Parton distributions for the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary set of updated NLO parton distributions and their uncertainties determined from CCFR and NuTeV dimuon cross sections are presented, along with additional jet data from HERA and the Tevatron.

Higgs Physics at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC

Maria Cepeda, +376 more
TL;DR: The potential reach and opportunities in Higgs physics during the High Luminosity phase of the LHC were summarized in this article, with an expected dataset of pp collisions at 14 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$.

HW/HZ + 0 and 1 jet at NLO with the POWHEG BOX interfaced to GoSam and their merging within MiNLO

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a generator for the production of a Higgs boson H in association with a vector boson V=W or Z (including subsequent V decay) plus zero and one jet, that can be used in conjunction with general-purpose shower Monte Carlo generators, as implemented within the POWHEG box framework.

Collider physics at the precision frontier

TL;DR: The precision frontier in collider physics is being pushed at impressive speed, from both the experimental and the theoretical side as discussed by the authors, and the aim of this review is to give an overview of recent developments in precision calculations within the Standard Model of particle physics, in particular in the Higgs sector.

A portrait of the Higgs boson by the CMS experiment ten years after the discovery

C. Collaboration
- 30 Jun 2022 - 
TL;DR: The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider as discussed by the authors reported the most up-to-date combination of results on the properties of the Higgs boson, including the most stringent limit on the cross section for the production of a pair of Higgs particles, on the basis of data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.

The automated computation of tree-level and next-to-leading order differential cross sections, and their matching to parton shower simulations

TL;DR: MadGraph5 aMC@NLO as discussed by the authors is a computer program capable of handling all these computations, including parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged, in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation and human intervention limited to input physics quantities.

The anti-$k_t$ jet clustering algorithm

TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.

A Brief Introduction to PYTHIA 8.1

TL;DR: PYTHIA 8 represents a complete rewrite in C++, and does not yet in every respect replace the old code, but does contain some new physics aspects that should make it an attractive option especially for LHC physics studies.

An Introduction to PYTHIA 8.2

TL;DR: Pythia 8.2 is the second main release after the complete rewrite from Fortran to C++, and now has reached such a maturity that it offers a complete replacement for most applications, notably for LHC physics studies.
