Higgs-boson production in top-quark fragmentation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-09-15 v1

Abstract

We compute the fragmentation functions for the production of a Higgs boson at O(yt2αs)\mathcal{O}(y_t^2\alpha_s). As part of this calculation, the relevant splitting functions are also derived at the same perturbative order. Our results can be used to compute differential cross sections with arbitrary top-quark and Higgs-boson masses from massless calculations. They can also be used to resum logarithms of the form ln(pT/m)\ln(p_T/m) at large transverse momentum pTp_T to next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy by solving the DGLAP equations.
