We present predictions for the inclusive cross section for Higgs boson production by gluon--gluon fusion in proton collisions at s=8 TeV. Our calculation is accurate up to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD perturbation theory and includes soft-gluon effects up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and two-loop electroweak corrections. The dependence on heavy-quark masses is taken into account exactly up to next-to-leading order and next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and a treatment of the Higgs boson line-shape is provided according to the complex-pole scheme.

Effect of the charm-quark included. The charm-quark contribution decreases the cross section by about 1% for mh=125 GeV
