SusHi Bento: Beyond NNLO and the heavy-top limit

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-12-23 v2

Abstract

Version 1.6.0 of the code SusHi is presented. Concerning inclusive CP-even Higgs production in gluon fusion, the following new features with respect to previous versions have been implemented: expansion of the partonic cross section in the soft limit, i.e. around x=MH2/s^1x=M_H^2/\hat{s}\to 1; N3^3LO QCD corrections in terms of the soft expansion; top-quark mass suppressed terms through NNLO; matching to the cross section at x0x\to 0 through N3^3LO. For CP-even and -odd scalars, an efficient evaluation of the renormalization-scale dependence is included, and effects of dimension-5 operators can be studied, which we demonstrate for the SM Higgs boson and for a CP-even scalar with a mass of 750750 GeV. In addition, as a generalization of the previously available bbˉHb\bar{b}\to H cross section, SusHi 1.6.0 provides the cross section for charged and neutral Higgs production in the annihilation of arbitrary heavy quarks. At fixed order in perturbation theory, SusHi thus allows to obtain Higgs cross-section predictions in different models to the highest precision known today. For the SM Higgs boson of MH=125M_H=125 GeV, SusHi yields 48.2848.28 pb for the gluon-fusion cross section at the LHC at 1313 TeV. Simultaneously, SusHi provides the renormalization-scale uncertainty of ±1.97\pm 1.97 pb.
