Description

NLO Higgs (EW production) matched to parton shower
NLO Higgs gluon-fusion merged at NLO
first steps of uncertainty estimation

Summary

NLO computations in EW Higgs production are complex and usually performed in the VBF approximation. We show results for a full NLO computation for Higgs plus two and three jets. In addition we study the gluon-fusion channel as complementary Higgs produciton mode.
