Abstract

In this article, we report how to use the "plus-type" subtraction scheme to deal with endpoint divergences in hγγh\rightarrow\gamma\gamma or gghgg\rightarrow h amplitudes induced by light quark loop, which can be formulated by next-to-leading power (NLP) SCET. This subtraction is ensured by two re-factorization conditions, which have been proven to all orders in αs\alpha_s. Based on these conditions, cutoffs emerge naturally after some re-arrangements to handle endpoint divergences and renormalization is compatible with that. Our formalism can analytically reproduce three-loop amplitudes up to ln3(Mh2/mb2i0)\ln^3(-M_h^2/m_b^2-i0) and resum to next-to-leading logarithm and beyond.
