Abstract

We present the analytic calculation of the leading order three-point energy correlator (EEEC) in hadronic Higgs decays, including both gluon-initiated channel Hgg+XH\rightarrow g g+X and quark-initiated channel Hqqˉ+XH\rightarrow q\bar q+X. The phase space integration is evaluated directly using Mandelstam variables sij=(pi+pj)2s_{ij}=(p_i+p_j)^2, and the appearing square roots can be rationalized by either conformal ratios or celestial coordinate variables. Throughout the calculation, we observe the same transcendental function space as in N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and e+e hadronse^+e^-\rightarrow \text{ hadrons}. Different infrared limits are also explored using the full analytic result, offering the fixed-order data for EEEC factorization and resummation. Given its non-trivial shape dependence, the EEEC presents an excellent opportunity to explore the dynamics of gluon jets originating from the HggH \to gg decay channel at future lepton colliders.
