Description
Vidyo meeting pin: 1255

ggHZ production:

 

* POWHEG reweighting of events allows for arbitrary k_top vs k_Z (and k_b since 28Jul)

 

* fully differential NNLO calculation existing

-> also gg->qqZ->qqZH done (DY-like)

-> full NNLO (gg-like + DY-like) ratio to NLO different from NNLO DY-like alone at high pTH


 

tHq:

-> bbH neglected

-> Santander matching needed?

-> kappa might be inadequate here if there are light new particles; for cf=-1 what is the validity range of the EFT description as compared to the Q^2 probed by the analysis

-> k_top and k_W scanning

 

high-pT H:

-> long-distance (k_top) and kshort-distance (k_gluon)

-> b piece also needed for full differential distribution description

-> DOFs for mu_EXP(pTH) <-> mu_TH(ptH, TH_DOFs); this would probably just generalise k_glu from the form we have now of k_glu(mH, k_top, k_b) to

form-factor-like: k_glu(mH, pTH, k_top, k_b)

or  

EFT-like: k_glu(mH, k_top, k_b, k_short-distance)

-> how light can a new particle be to be effectively integrated into the EFT k_short-distance parameter as function of pT?

-> whats the functional form of k_glu(mH, k_top, k_b, k_short-distance) as function of pT.

-> NLO/LO k-factor for H+1j in heavy top limit - uncertainty and accuracy?

-> in decay: same effect as in inclusive (integrated over pT or at pT=0?)

 

Off-shell:

NO consensus

 

Georg/Sven

-> Argued that it is not suited to kappa-treatment and should rather use full EFT or BSM benchmarks

-> Should we consider m4l as a differential observable? Yes, next talk.

 

Cacciapaglia

-> short-distance in gluglu loops: same as ptH talk but for on-peak vs off-peak. (Need merging?)

-> what is the functional form of k_glu(mVV, k_top, k_b, k_short-distance) as function of mVV

 

Salvioni

-> Linear => dim-4*dim-6, non-linear then also includes (dim-6)^2; discussion on dim-4*dim-8 and interference with (dim-6)^2.

 

-> Noted that EWK corrections will breakdown faster for very large mVV

-> k_short-distance can be one parameter if NP is heavy, but for light NP perhaps we need to have bin-by-bin k_short-distance.

-> Caveat on correlations between bins for mu(mVV or pTH).

 

Brainstorm:

 

-> In off shell, even if the k_glu is not well-defined, k_top and k_b should be well-defined across m(4l). If one combines k_top(on-peak) and k_top(off-peak) is another question.

- It is crucial to get the gluon fusion notation right. Propose that we tell everyone to call k_ggh{\inf} what they are now calling kg, since k_glu = k_top (+) k_ggH{\inf}.
