Description

In this talk the computation of soft gluon resummation for $pp \to t\bar{t}H$ will be presented. The absolute threshold resummation is carried out at NLL accuracy. This is the first application for the Mellin space technique to $2 \to 3$ type processes. The impact of resummation on the numerical prediction for the total cross section and the theoretical uncertainties will be presented.
