The Soft-Virtual Higgs Cross-section at N3LO and the Convergence of the Threshold Expansion

Abstract

We discuss the validity of the soft-virtual approximation and the threshold expansion for the Higgs boson production cross-section at hadron colliders in perturbative QCD up to next-to- next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO).
