Speaker

Mr Jens Hoff (KIT, Karlsruhe)

Description

This talk considers Higgs boson production at hadron colliders via gluon fusion and the computation of higher order terms in the regularization parameter $\epsilon$. In particular, the next-to-next-to-leading order cross section needs to be evaluated including order $\epsilon$ terms. These results are used to compute all convolutions with the splitting functions entering the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order cross section. A clear account is given on the solution of the occurring convolution integrals involving harmonic polylogarithms and generalized functions.
