Abstract

We consider Standard Model Higgs boson production by gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We present a calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the cross section in the H→WW→lνlν and H→ZZ→4l decay channels. The calculation is implemented in the parton level Monte Carlo program HNNLO and allows us to apply arbitrary cuts on the final state leptons and the associated jet activity. We present selected numerical results for the signal cross section at the LHC and the Tevatron, by using all the nominal cuts used in the Higgs boson search.
