NNLL resummation for the associated production of a top pair and a Higgs boson at the LHC
We study the resummation of soft gluon emission corrections to the production of a top-antitop pair in association with a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. Starting from a soft-gluon resummation formula derived in previous work, we develop a bespoke parton-level Monte Carlo program which can be used to calculate the total cross section along with differential distributions. We use this tool to study the phenomenological impact of the resummation to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy, finding that these corrections increase the total cross section and the differential distributions with respect to NLO calculations of the same observables.
This paper incorporates labor search frictions into a model with lumpy capital to explain a set of stylized facts about the United States labor market dynamics over business cycles. All of these facts are related to …rm size: (1) job creation is procyclical in both small and large …rms; (2) job destruction is countercyclical in large …rms, but, paradoxically, it is procyclical in small …rms; and (3) job creation and job destruction are more volatile in large …rms than in small …rms. The model is calibrated to US data and its predictions are broadly consistent with the facts. The success of the model relies on the interaction between labor search and lumpy capital. Search frictions imply that even if two …rms have the
