We present the first fully differential predictions for the production cross section of a Higgs boson via the gluon fusion mechanism at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N^{3}LO) in QCD perturbation theory. Differential distributions are shown for the two-photon final state produced by the decay of the Higgs boson for a realistic set of fiducial cuts. The N^{3}LO corrections exhibit complex features and are in part larger than the inclusive N^{3}LO corrections to the production cross section. Overall, we observe that the inclusion of the N^{3}LO QCD corrections significantly reduces the perturbative uncertainties and leads to a stabilization of the perturbative expansion.
我们给出了在量子色动力学(QCD)微扰理论中,通过胶子融合机制,在次次次领头阶(N³LO)下希格斯玻色子产生截面的首个全微分预测。对于希格斯玻色子衰变产生的双光子末态,给出了一组现实的基准切割下的微分分布。N³LO修正呈现出复杂的特征,部分修正大于对产生截面的包含性N³LO修正。总体而言,我们观察到包含N³LO QCD修正显著降低了微扰不确定性,并导致微扰展开的稳定。
