Description

The production of a Higgs boson in association with a high-pT jet provides a clean and sensitive channel to study the Higgs kinematics and couplings, and plays a crucial role in differential analyses at the LHC. We present the calculation of complete next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to the Higgs boson production in gg->Hg channel. We apply the method of differential equations combined with the selection of optimized master integrals to accomplish the calculation of master integrals. We consider three renormalization schemes. At leading order, the differential distributions and the total cross section show a strong dependence on the renormalization scheme. These discrepancies are considerably suppressed once electroweak corrections are taken into account. For Gmu scheme, the electroweak correction amounts to approximately 4.3% of the total cross section. Importantly, we find that the EW corrections exhibit a strong dependence on Higgs transverse momentum.
