WG3 Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
We present the soft-virtual corrections to Higgs boson production in gluon fusion for infinite top quark mass at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. In addition, we show analogous soft-virtual terms for both Drell-Yan lepton production in QCD and scalar pair production in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. The result for Drell-Yan lepton production is derived from the result for Higgs...

WG3 Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
We present a study of the Higgs boson pT spectrum in hadronic collisions that incorporates all available perturbative information. A detailed investigation of the uncertainties affecting the prediction for the LHC is provided.

WG3 Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
The current status of theoretical predictions for off-shell Higgs boson production and the implications for bounds on the Higgs boson width are reviewed.

WG3 Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
We introduce a set of pseudo-observables, defined from the on-shell amplitudes, characterizing the properties of Higgs decays in generic extensions of the Standard Model with no new particles below the Higgs mass. These provide a systematic generalization of the kappa framework used by the LHC experiments. The pseudo-observabls allow for a systematic inclusion of higher order QED and QCD...
