We present novel predictions for rapidity and transverse-momentum distributions sensitive to the emission of a Higgs boson accompanied by a jet in proton collisions, calculated within the NLO fixed order in QCD and matched with the next-to-leading energy-logarithmic accuracy. We also highlight first advancements in the extension of our analysis to the Z-boson case. We come out with the message that the improvement of fixed-order calculations on Higgs- and Z-boson plus jet distributions is a required step to reach the precision level of the description of observables relevant for Higgs and electroweak physics at current LHC energies and nominal FCC ones.

Abstract
We present novel predictions for rapidity and transverse-momentum distributions sensitive to the emission of a Higgs boson accompanied by a jet in proton collisions, calculated within the NLO fixed order in QCD and matched with the next-to-leading energy-logarithmic accuracy. We also highlight first advancements in the extension of our analysis to the Z-boson case. We come out with the message that the improvement of fixed-order calculations on Higgs- and Z-boson plus jet distributions is a required step to reach the precision level of the description of observables relevant for Higgs and electroweak physics at current LHC energies and nominal FCC ones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
