High energy resummation for rapidity distributions

Abstract

We discuss the generalisation of high-energy resummation to rapidity distributions to leading logarithmic accuracy. We test our procedure applying it to Higgs production in gluon-gluon fusion both with finite top mass and in the infinite mass limit. We check that they reproduce the known results at fixed order and we estimate finite top mass corrections to the NLO distribution.
