Hadronic production of a Higgs boson in association with two jets at ...

6.6. Summary 166of Higgs masses, 150 GeV < m H < 180 GeV.For the LHC we have provided a brief study of the behaviour of our predictionsfor collisions at √ s = 10 TeV. We have also performed an analysis of this channel inthe context of detecting a Higgs boson via weak boson fusion, where the improvedtheoretical prediction presented in this paper is essential in the long-term for makinga measurement of the Higgs boson couplings to W and Z bosons.We have also investigated the effects of using the dynamic scale H T in our calculations.We found similar results to [179–181], distributions which are sensitive tohigh-p T effects maintained their LO shape if a dynamic scale was used, whereas afixed scale tended to alter these shapes at NLO. We investigated the potential role oftop quark mass effects, and found that in the regions where a dynamic scale had thelargest effect were exactly the regions where top mass effects are most important.This suggested that if one wanted to use the effective theory in the high-p T regiona fixed scale choice such as m H may actually describe the results more accurately.
