Description

In this talk I will present results for the interference between higgs-mediated diphoton production and its continuum background at the LHC. We compute the total cross section at NNLO QCD in the soft-virtual approximation and in particular we focus on the diphoton invariant mass distribution. Following up on previous literature, we exploit the shift in the diphoton invariant mass induced by interference effects to provide updated bound on the Higgs width at the LHC.
