The fully differential decay rate of a Higgs boson to bottom-quarks at
NNLO in QCD
   [PDF]

Charalampos Anastasiou, Franz Herzog, Achilleas Lazopoulos
The decay of a light Higgs boson to bottom quarks is dominant and can be
exploited for the discovery of the Higgs particle and the measurement of its
properties at the LHC and future collider experiments. We perform a first
computation of the fully differential decay at next-next-to-leading order in
perturbative QCD. We employ a novel method of non-linear mappings for the
treatment of singularities in the radiative processes which contribute to the
decay width. This constitutes the first physical application of the method.
