Description
We study the effect of QCD radiative corrections to the production of Higgs and W/Z bosons in hadron collisions. We consider the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections at fully-differential level and discuss the resummation of the logarithmically-enhanced QCD contributions at small transverse-momentum. We show selected numerical results at the LHC.
