On Higgs+jet production at next-to-leading power accuracy

Abstract

We present computation of the next-to-leading power corrections for Higgs plus one jet production in a hadron collider via gluon fusion channel. Shifting of spinors in the helicity amplitudes without additional radiation captures the leading next-to-soft radiative behavior and makes the calculation tractable. We establish the connection between the shifted dipole spinors and the color ordered radiative amplitudes. We find that next-to-maximal helicity violating amplitudes do not play a role in this correction. Compact analytic expressions of next-to-leading power leading logarithms coming from different helicity configurations are shown. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
