Abstract

We make a detailed study on the properties of the total decay width of Higgs decay channel HggH\to gg up to αs6\alpha_s^6-order QCD corrections by using the newly suggested infinite-order scale-setting approach, which is based on the ideas of both the principle of maximum conformality and the intrinsic conformality. This approach is called as the PMC_\infty approach. By using the PMC_\infty approach, we observe that the conventional renormalization scale ambiguity in perturbative QCD calculation is eliminated and the residual scale dependence due to unknown higher-order terms can also be highly suppressed. We then obtain an accurate perturbative QCD prediction on the total decay width, e.g. Γ(Hgg)PMC=336.426.92+7.01\Gamma (H \to gg)|_{\rm PMC_\infty} =336.42^{+7.01}_{-6.92} KeV, where the errors are squared averages of those from all the mentioned error sources.
