Abstract
We study the transverse-momentum (q_T) and rapidity (y) distributions of the Higgs boson in perturbative QCD, including the most advanced theoretical information presently available: fixed-order perturbation theory at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in the large-q_T region (q_T ~ M_H, being M_H the Higgs mass), and soft-gluon resummation at the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithmic accuracy (NNLL) in the small-q_T region (q_T << M_H). We present numerical results for the doubly-differential (q_T and y) cross section for the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
