Diphoton Background to Higgs Boson Production at the LHC with Soft Gluon Effects

The detection and the measurement of the production cross section of a light Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider demand the accurate prediction of the background distributions of photon pairs. To improve this theoretical prediction, we present the soft-gluon resummed calculation of the $p...

description The detection and the measurement of the production cross section of a light Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider demand the accurate prediction of the background distributions of photon pairs. To improve this theoretical prediction, we present the soft-gluon resummed calculation of the $p p \to contributions, the resummed cross section provides a reliable prediction for the inclusive diphoton invariant mass and transverse momentum distributions. Given our results, we propose the search for the Higgs boson in the inclusive diphoton mode with a cut on the transverse momentum of the photon pair, without the requirement of an additional tagged jet.
