Why studying again cross-section ?
…but LHC accident : 14 TeV10 TeVConsequence expected on cross-sections
LHC to improve potential discovery…

Motivations:
-take into consideration acceptance of detector and change of ecmneed angular and pT distributions of photons
-Higgs pT is a powerful discriminating variable, need good knowledge of distributions especially at low pT where resummation is important to avoid fixed order Monte Carlo behavior

Influence of R , F

For low pT :dependance on scales decreases between LO and NLO
For high pT :dependance on scales remains almost constant : calculation is actually LO

Conclusion
Gluon fusion: soon under control,
VBF: great work in progress from Nansi (vv2h, mass and scales dependances),
W/Z H: will be investigated and compared with Djouadi computation at NNLO,
tṫ H: will be investigated to close available programs study.
Up to now signal investigated, what about background?
jet: yet investigated by Pauline (NLO)
jet-jet : NLOjet++ could be investigated (NLO)

Construction of the curve :
• Resummed : divergent terms only « resummed »=exp(Sudakov factor)
• Asymptotic : limit of perturbative order when PT0 : divergent terms only
• Fix order : all perturbative developpement terms, including divergent terms
Matched = Resummed + Fix order - Asymptotic
