aMC@NLO Higgs production not correct
Hi,
I was trying to check the Higgs production cross section from the "Higgs Characterisation" model. With default values, the pp > x0 / t [QCD] cross section at 14 TeV (100 TeV) is 35.5pb (530pb). This does not match the values calculated elsewhere ( https:/
p p > x0 j j $$ w+ w- z / a [QCD] gives 65pb at 100 TeV compared to 82.0 pb for VBF reported on the CERN twiki. They are NNLO values, but I wouldn't expect NNLO to make such a big difference. How accurate is the NLO calculation in aMC@NLO supposed to be, and in what scenarios is it reliable?
Thanks
Ralph
