SM Higgs production cross sections at √s = 13, 14 and 27 TeV (update in CERN HL-LHC YR 2019)
Cross sections are computed for m
H=125.09
GeV by using the YR4 input parameters. More details can be found on the
LHCHXSWG-INT-2019-0xx note and in Sec. 2.2 of the
HL-HE report.
Gluon fusion
- Cross sections are calculated at (approx.) NNNLO QCD and NLO EW accuracy using the program iHixs.
