Resummation Effects in the Search of SM Higgs Boson at Hadron Colliders

Abstract

We examine the soft-gluon resummation effects, including the exact spin correlations among the final state particles, in the search of the Standard Model Higgs boson, via the process $g g \to H \to W W / Z Z \to 4 l e pt o n s, a tt h e T e v a t r o nan d t h e L H C .

Thus, to precisely determine the properties of the Higgs boson at hadron colliders, the soft-gluon resummation effects have to be taken into account.
