Description

The prospect of future electron-positron colliders operating as "Higgs factories" in a clean experimental environment presents one of the most promising avenues for Higgs precision measurements. In order to capitalise on this, we need to have good theoretical control over these obvservables. In this talk, I will report on recent calculations in Hadronic Higgs decays, focusing in particular on the variations between the dominant H->b \bar{b} channel via a Yukawa interaction, and the sub-dominant H->gg channel. Using the newly-developed "generalised antenna formalism", we have been able to caluclate jet-rates and classical QCD event-shape observables up to NNLO accuracy, providing us with the means to quantify the differences between the two decay modes.
