Title in English
Higher-order QCD in Higgs to gluon gluon
Keywords in English
Gluons
Higgs boson
QCD
Abstract in English
One of the most prominent decay channels of the Higgs boson is the decay of the Higgs into two gluons. The decay width ⌈(hgg) starts at second order in the strong coupling αs and is known up to Ο(α6s) in perturbative QCD. However, the truncation error of this quantity needs to be investigated, considering that its precise theoretical knowledge is part of crucial tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. In order to achieve better control over this truncation error, it is necessary to know the coefficients at higher order. In this work, we produce accurate estimates for the first unknown coefficient of the Higgs decay into two gluons, at Ο(α7s). We investigate the coefficients at high orders using rational approximants also known as Padé approximants, in combination with the Borel transform of the series, in addition to employing other methods such as the so-called Dlog Padés, renormalization scheme variation, and conformal mapping. We provide model-independent estimates for the first unknown coefficient, c5, in the series for the Higgs decay into two gluons. We analyzed two prescriptions for the renormalization of the top-quark mass, considering the dependence on the number of flavors of light quarks, denoted as nf . For the case of greatest interest, with nf = 5, we obtained estimates of c5 = 304±106 under the Scale Invariant prescription, and c5 = -293 ± 78 for the On-Shell top-quark mass. This allows us to assess the intrinsic truncation uncertainty of this quantity in light of our results.

Abstract in Portuguese
Um dos canais de decaimento mais proeminentes do bóson de Higgs é o decaimento do Higgs em dois glúons. A largura de decaimento ⌈(hgg) começa em segunda ordem no acoplamento forte αs e é conhecida até Ο(α6s) na QCD perturbativa. No entanto, o erro de truncamento dessa quantidade precisa ser investigado, considerando que seu conhecimento teórico faz parte dos testes cruciais do Modelo Padrão da física de partículas. Para obter um controle mais preciso sobre esse erro de truncamento, é necessário conhecer os coeficientes de ordem superior. Neste trabalho, produzimos estimativas precisas para o primeiro coeficiente desconhecido do decaimento do Higgs em dois glúons, em Ο(α7s). Investigamos os coeficientes em ordens elevadas usando aproximantes racionais, também conhecidos como aproximantes de Padé, em combinação com a transformada de Borel da série, além de empregar outros métodos, como os chamados Dlog Padés, variação de esquema de renormalização e mapeamento conforme. Fornecemos estimativas independentes de modelo para o primeiro coeficiente desconhecido, c5, na série para o decaimento do Higgs em dois glúons. Analisamos duas prescrições para a renormalização da massa do quark top, considerando a dependência no número de sabores de quarks leves, denotado como nf . Para o caso de maior interesse, com nf = 5, obtivemos estimativas de c5 = -304±106 sob a prescrição Invarante de Escala e c5 = 293 ± 78 para a massa do quark top On-Shell, permitindo-nos avaliar a incerteza intrínseca de truncamento dessa quantidade à luz de nossos resultados.
