At the LHC a precise measurement of the Higgs boson mass (if discovered), at the level of 0.1-1%, will be possible through the channel g g --> H --> 4l for a wide range of Higgs mass values. To match such an accuracy, the systematic effects induced by QED corrections need to be investigated. In the present study the calculation of O(alpha) and higher order QED corrections is illustrated as well as their impact on the Higgs mass determination, once realistic event selection criteria for charged leptons and photons are considered.

We study the indirect effects of New Physics in the Higgs decay into four charged leptons, using an Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach to Higgs interactions. We evaluate the deviations induced by the EFT dimension-six operators in observables like
partial decay width and various kinematic distributions, including angular observables, and compare them with the contribution of the full SM electroweak corrections. The calculation is implemented in an improved version of the event generator Hto4l, which can provide predictions in terms of different EFT-bases and is available for data analysis at the LHC. We also perform a phenomenological study in order to assess the benefits coming from the inclusion of differential information in the future analyses of very precise data which will be collected during the high luminosity phase of the LHC.
We present a state-of-the-art calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to ZZ production, including the leptonic decays of the Z bosons into $mu^+mu^-mathrm{e}^+mathrm{e}^-$ or $mu^+mu^-mu^+mu^-$ final states. We use complete l
eading-order and next-to-leading-order matrix elements for four-lepton production, including contributions of virtual photons and all off-shell effects of Z bosons, where the finite Z-boson width is taken into account using the complex-mass scheme. The matrix elements are implemented into Monte Carlo programs allowing for the evaluation of arbitrary differential distributions. We present integrated and differential cross sections for the LHC at 13 TeV both for an inclusive setup where only lepton identification cuts are applied, and for a setup motivated by Higgs-boson analyses in the four-lepton decay channel. The electroweak corrections are divided into photonic and purely weak contributions. The former show the well-known pronounced tails near kinematical thresholds and resonances; the latter are generically at the level of $sim-5%$ and reach several $-10%$ in the high-energy tails of distributions. Comparing the results for $mu^+mu^-mathrm{e}^+mathrm{e}^-$ and $mu^+mu^-mu^+mu^-$ final states, we find significant differences mainly in distributions that are sensitive to the $mu^+mu^-$ pairing in the $mu^+mu^-mu^+mu^-$ final state. Differences between $mu^+mu^-mathrm{e}^+mathrm{e}^-$ and $mu^+mu^-mu^+mu^-$ channels due to interferences of equal-flavour leptons in the final state can reach up to $10%$ in off-shell-sensitive regions. Contributions induced by incoming photons, i.e. photon-photon and quark-photon channels, are included, but turn out to be phenomenologically unimportant.
Theoretical predictions for the decay width of Standard Model Higgs boson into bottom quarks and tau-leptons, in the case when M_H< 2M_W, are briefly reviewed. The effects of higher order perturbative QCD (up to alpha_s^4-level) and QED corrections
are considered. The uncertainties of the decay width of Higgs boson into bb and tau+tau- are discussed.
We consider the radiative corrections to the impact factors of electron and photon. According to a generalized eikonal representation the ebar e scattering amplitude at high energies and fixed momentum transfers is proportional to the electron form f
actor. But we show that this representation is violated due to the presence of non-planar diagrams. One loop correction to the photon impact factor for small virtualities of the exchanged photon is obtained using the known results for the cross section of the ebar e production at photon-nuclei interactions.
In this paper we show that the excess of the tau tau events with respect to the Standard Model background predictions, observed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations and interpreted as the evidence of the Higgs-boson decay into a pair of tau-leptons, m
ay be accounted for by properly taking into account QED radiative corrections in the modelling of the Z/gamma* -> tau tau background.
