NLO Multijet Merging for Higgs Production Beyond the VBF Approximation


Abstract in English

We present results of the simulation of electroweak Higgs boson production at the Large Hadron Collider using the NLO multi-jet merging framework provided by the general purpose event generator Herwig 7. For the hard processes, we use the HJets library for the computation of the $mathcal{O}(alpha^3 alpha_{s}^{n-2})$ matrix elements for $pp to h+n$ jet production at LO for $n=2,3,4$ and NLO for $n=2,3$.
