Inclusive Higgs boson cross-section for the LHC at 8 TeV    [PDF]

Charalampos Anastasiou, Stephan Buehler, Franz Herzog, Achilleas Lazopoulos

We present the inclusive Higgs boson cross-section at the LHC with collision
energy of 8 TeV. Our predictions are obtained using our publicly available
program iHixs which incorporates NNLO QCD corrections and electroweak
corrections. We review the convergence of the QCD perturbative expansion at
this new energy and examine the impact of finite Higgs width effects. We also
study the impact of different parton distribution functions on the
cross-section. We present tables with the cross-section values and estimates
for their uncertainty due to uncalculated higher orders in the perturbative
expansion and parton densities.
