Resummation of Next-to-Leading Non-Global Logarithms in Higgs Production
Abstract
We analyze Higgs production at the LHC with a jet veto at central rapidities and present the first next-to-leading logarithmic resummation of non-global logarithms for this process. The resummation combines one-loop hard and soft matching functions with two-loop anomalous dimensions in the large-Nc limit. To perform the resummation we numerically solve renormalization group equations via the parton-shower framework MARZILI. After matching to fixed order, we perform a detailed study of different sources of uncertainties. We find that the hard matching corrections dominate by far and are substantially larger than in Drell-Yan production. Together with earlier results for Drell-Yan, these are the first resummations of subleading non-global logarithms in hadron-collider cross sections, and they provide a benchmark for logarithmically accurate parton showers.
