The qT spectrum of the Higgs boson at the LHC in QCD perturbation theory

We consider the transverse-momentum (qT) distribution of Higgs bosons produced at hadron colliders. We use a formalism that uniformly treats both the small-qT and large-qT regions in QCD perturbation theory. At small qT (qT ≪ MH, MH being the mass of the Higgs boson), we implement an all-order resum...
