Higgs production in association with bottom quarks

none6siAbstract: We study the production of a Higgs boson in association with bottom quarks in hadronic collisions, and present phenomenological predictions relevant to the 13 TeV LHC. Our results are accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, and matched to parton showers through the MC@NLO method; thus, they are fully differential and based on unweighted events, which we shower by using both Herwig++ and Pythia8. We perform the computation in both the four-flavour and the five-flavour schemes, whose results we compare extensively at the level of exclusive observables. In the case of the Higgs transverse momentum, we also consider the analytically-resummed cross section up to the NNLO+NNLL accuracy. In addition, we analyse at(formula presented.) and gluon-fusion production modes.openWiesemann, M.*; Frederix, R.; Frixione, S.; Hirschi, V.; Maltoni, F.; Torrielli, P.Wiesemann, M.*; Frederix, R.; Frixione, S.; Hirschi, V.; Maltoni, F.; Torrielli, P
