I will review theoretical predictions for Higgs boson production in weak boson fusion.
I will also discuss the so‐called non‐factorizable corrections that arise at next‐to‐next‐toleading order in perturbative QCD. These corrections can be computed in the so‐called eikonal approximation, retaining all the terms that are not suppressed by the ratio of the transverse momenta of the tagging jets to the total center‐of‐mass energy.
In certain kinematic distributions the non‐factorizable corrections can be quite comparable to their factorizable counter‐parts.
