Angularity in Higgs boson decays via $\boldsymbol{H\to gg}$ at NNLL$'$ accuracy
Abstract
We present improved predictions of a class of event-shape distributions called angularity for a contribution from an effective operator in Higgs hadronic decay that suffers from large perturbative uncertainties. In the frame of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, logarithmic terms of the distribution are resummed at NNLL accuracy, for which 2-loop constant of gluon-jet function for angularity is independently determined by a fit to fixed-order distribution at NLO corresponding to relative to the Born rate. Our determination shows reasonable agreement with the value in a thesis recently released. In the fit, we use an asymptotic form with a fractional power conjectured from recoil corrections at one-loop order and it improves the accuracy of determination in positive values of angularity parameter . The resummed distribution is matched to the NLO fixed-order results to make our predictions valid at all angularity values. We also discuss the first moment and subtracted moment of angularity as a function of that allow to extract information on leading and subleading nonperturbative corrections associated with gluons.
