In this talk I will present the most precise theoretical determination of the total Higgs boson Cross Section at the LHC known to this date. This new determination was made possible only through the first complete calculation of an LHC observable at N3LO in perturbative QCD. I will discuss the impact of the N3LO correction on the total cross section and examine remaining sources of theoretical...

After the LHC Run 1, the standard model (SM) of particle physics has been completed. Yet, despite its successes,
the SM has shortcomings vis-ร -vis cosmological and other observations. At the same time, while the LHC restarts

frontier. From this state of affairs arises the...

Much can be gleaned about new degrees of freedom from loop induced gluon fusion processes in the LHC runs in the near future.

There has been a lot of interest recently in the high-mass behavior of the Higgs boson in its decay to a pair of massive electroweak bosons. In this kinematic regime, the interference between Higgs-mediated amplitudes and continuum $gg \to VV$ amplitudes becomes significant and destructive.

A conventional approach to precision calculations of Higgs boson observables uses quark masses $m_c$ and $m_b$ as inputs. However, quark masses are single numbers that hide a variety of low-energy data from which they are extracted, and also hide the various sources of theoretical uncertainties and correlations with additional input parameters such as $\alpha_s$. Higher-precision calculations,...
