$t\bar{t}H$ production at NNLO: the flavour off-diagonal channels
Abstract
We consider QCD radiative corrections to the associated production of a heavy-quark pair () with a generic colourless system at hadron colliders. We discuss the resummation formalism for the production of the system at small values of its total transverse momentum . The perturbative expansion of the resummation formula leads to the explicit ingredients that can be used to apply the subtraction formalism to fixed-order calculations for this class of processes. We use the subtraction formalism to perform a fully differential perturbative computation for the production of a top-antitop quark pair and a Higgs boson. At next-to-leading order we compare our results with those obtained with established subtraction methods and we find complete agreement. We present, for the first time, the results for the flavour off-diagonal partonic channels at the next-to-next-to-leading order.
