5.3. Numerical results 1455.3 Numerical resultsHere we present evalu<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> the new amplitudes <strong>at</strong> the same k<strong>in</strong>em<strong>at</strong>ic po<strong>in</strong>t asused <strong>in</strong> the previous chapter (eq. 4.49) and <strong>in</strong> the liter<strong>at</strong>ure [104, 109]. We haveused a scale µ = m H , set δ R = 1 (correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the ’t Ho<strong>of</strong>t-Veltman scheme)and, <strong>in</strong> assembl<strong>in</strong>g the amplitude A 4;1 , have used N f = 5. The results for the f<strong>in</strong>al<strong>Higgs</strong> amplitudes presented <strong>in</strong> Table 5.2 agree <strong>with</strong> those from the semi-numericalcalcul<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> ref. [104] to one part <strong>in</strong> 10 8 . Note th<strong>at</strong> these results depend onan overall phase th<strong>at</strong> can be removed by divid<strong>in</strong>g out by the correspond<strong>in</strong>g Borncalcul<strong>at</strong>ion. Us<strong>in</strong>g the analytic expressions for all the Hgggg, H¯qqgg and H¯qq¯q ′ q ′amplitudes th<strong>at</strong> are now available we can also confirm the numerical values for them<strong>at</strong>rix elements squared given <strong>in</strong> ref. [104].5.4 SummaryIn this chapter we have computed the last analytically unknown helicity amplitudecontribut<strong>in</strong>g to the NLO corrections to <strong>Higgs</strong> plus <strong>two</strong> jet <strong>production</strong> <strong>at</strong> hadroncolliders. Once aga<strong>in</strong> we used the unitarity method to calcul<strong>at</strong>e the cut-constructiblepieces <strong>of</strong> the amplitude, and Feynman diagrams to calcul<strong>at</strong>e the entire r<strong>at</strong>ionalpart. We verified our results us<strong>in</strong>g the semi-numerical code <strong>of</strong> [104]. The analyticcalcul<strong>at</strong>ions needed for this thesis are hence complete and <strong>in</strong> the next chapter weturn our <strong>at</strong>tention to us<strong>in</strong>g the results to perform some phenomenology.
