2. Higgs cross sections and branching ratios for HL/HE-LHC
- SM input parameters can be found here.
- The default Higgs mass points for SM Higgs productions are MH=125 and 800 GeV. The 800 GeV point has been chosen to avoid the unitarity problem even in s→infinite case. For Higgs self-coupling study, MH=125 GeV only.

3. Major SM background process cross sections
ttbar cross section at √s = 8, 14 and 33 TeV
- The numbers have been obtained with the version 1.3 of the program HATHOR
at approx. NNLO accuracy based on the theory input and with the latest improvements at NNLO. Please also note, that in addition to the scale uncertainty at LHC 14 and 33 TeV there is a uncertainty due to unknown terms at high energies at NNLO. (S.-O. Moch)
- The numbers scan a pole mass for Mtop in the range of 170-175 GeV and use the MSTW2008 PDF set. The PDF uncertainties is given at 68% CL. The uncertainty due to the gluon luminosity is large.
