Description

We compute top-quark induced contributions to the hadronic decay of the standard model Higgs boson, to the fourth order in $\alpha_s$. We work in an effective theory in which the Higgs boson may couple directly to bottom quarks and gluons. Our results prove to be of a comparable size to the purely massless contributions available in the literature.
