Next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to light Higgs pair production via vector boson fusion in type-II two-Higgs-doublet model

摘要

We present the precision predictions on the pair production of light,$CP$-even Higgs in weak vector boson fusion (VBF) up to the QCDnext-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) at hadron colliders within the$CP$-conserving type-II two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM(II)) by adopting thestructure function approach. We investigate the model parameter dependence,residual uncertainties from the factorization/renormalization scale, PDFs and$\alpha_s$ on the integrated cross section at the QCD NNLO, and find that theNNLO QCD corrections can reduce the scale uncertainty significantly. Byanalyzing the kinematic distributions of final Higgs bosons, we can extract the$CP$-even Higgs resonance via $H^0 \to h^0 h^0$ channel as a means of probingthe extension of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector.
