Description
Higgs boson production through gluon fusion in association with two jets is an irreducible background to Higgs boson production through vector boson fusion. Despite a range of available simulation tools, precise predictions for the corresponding final state are hard to achieve. Using state-of-the art fixed-order calculations as the baseline for a comparison, we perform a detailed study of similarities and differences in existing event generators. We find that NLO calculations for the two-jet final state are essential to achieve reliablel predictions.
