Parton-shower and fixed-order QCD effects in Higgs boson production in weak-boson fusion and its decays to bottom quarks
We study the impact of higher-order QCD corrections on Higgs production via weak-boson fusion with subsequent decays of the Higgs boson to bottom-quark pairs. We consider realistic fiducial cuts and observe large corrections in a fixed-order calculation. They arise from the interplay of the particular fiducial cuts con...
