Abstract

We present precise results for invariant mass distributions and inclusive cross-sections, of associated ZHZH production through gluon fusion in QCD. We include threshold logarithms at next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) accuracy and match the results to full next-to-leading-order (NLO) results with exact top-quark mass dependence in the virtual amplitudes. At 13.6 TeV energy at LHC, the NLO+NLL cross-section increases the NLO counterpart by about 20%20\%. For differential distributions, at 3000 GeV, the uncertainties arising out of the unphysical renormalization and factorization scales is about 20%20\% for NLO; whereas for the resummed results it is around 12%12\%. We also combine these results to the Drell-Yan type results at N3^3LL and present the most precise results in hadron collisions.
