Abstract: (arXiv)
We study the impact of initial-state multiple parton radiation on transverse momentum (qT)(q_T) distribution of Higgs boson produced via bottom quark fusion at hadron colliders. The shape of the resulting qTq_T distribution is affected by the bottom-quark mass corrections and by the strong kinematical behavior of the bottom-quark parton density. We account for both features in the full range of qTq_T. To do this, we formulate the resummation calculation in a general-mass factorization (S-ACOT) scheme and introduce a correction in the resummed-term to account for the effect from large-qTq_T kinematics of Higgs boson. The results of this resummation are compared to fixed-order and PYTHIA predictions.
