Our analysis is made at the differential level using the antenna subtraction framework. We apply our general set-up to the decays of a CP-even and CP-odd heavy Higgs boson to a top-quark top-antiquark pair and to the decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to a massive bottom-quark bottom-antiquark pair. In the latter case we calculate, in particular, the two-jet, three-jet, and four-jet decay rates and, for two-jet events, the energy distribution of the leading jet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-17T08:55:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "differential decay rates", "cp-odd higgs bosons", "nnlo qcd", "cp-odd heavy higgs boson", "four-jet decay rates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
