We present an implementation of the full electroweak Higgs plus two jets production process at hadron colliders. Our implementation, including vector-boson fusion and Higgsstrahlung contributions, is built in the framework of the resonance-aware version of the POWHEG BOX, which allows to match next-to-leading order QCD and EW corrections with shower Monte Carlo programs like PYTHIA8.

In this talk, I will present the NLO QCD prediction for loop-induced Higgs-plus-two-jets production (pp -> H + 2 jets) at the LHC in [2110.06953]. The top-quark mass effects in Born and real corrections are computed exactly, and the effects in the two-loop virtual corrections are taken into account through the so-called full-theory approximation. I will discuss the technical challenges for...
The measurement of Yukawa couplings of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to light SM fermions (weakly constrained at present, particularly for first-generation fermions) is very challenging experimentally, yet key to unravel the details of the mass generation mechanism for the first two generations of matter and establish the role of the SM Higgs in such a mechanism. We discuss two recently proposed...
The current STXS stage 1.2 binning is not sensitive to the charge-parity property of the Higgs boson. While there is an on-going effort to finalize the STXS stage 1.3 bins, the ATLAS experiment is making a first attempt at measuring CP-sensitive STXS-like bins in the H->WW decay channel. This is done by measuring cross-sections split by the signed azimuthal angle difference between the two...
