Higgs boson production via weak boson fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider has the capability to determine the dominant CP nature of a Higgs boson, via the tensor structure of its coupling to weak bosons. This information is contained…
Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC open exciting new possibilities for jet physics studies in the presence of hot and dense nuclear matter. Recent theoretical advances in understanding the QCD multi-parton dynamics…

We consider QCD corrections to Higgs boson production through gluon-gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We compute the effects of soft-gluon emission to all orders. We present numerical results at the Tevatron and the LHC.
We study central Z-boson production accompanied by rapidity gaps on either side as a way to gauge Higgs weak boson fusion production at the LHC. We analyse the backgrounds for the bb-decay mode and show that these can be substantially…
