QCD and QED corrections to Higgs-boson production in charged-current ep scattering

/ Abstract
First-order QCD and leading QED corrections to Higgs-boson production in the channel e−p → vH0X;H0 → bb are calculated for the kinematical conditions at LEP ⊗ LHC (√s = 1360 GeV) and the interesting mass range 80 < MH < 150 GeV. In the DIS scheme the QCD corrections (not including the corrections to the branching ratio, which are well known) are found to be about 1% for the total cross section and −13% to −10% for the observable cross section as defined by appropriate cuts. The latter results depende on the definition of these cuts. The QED corrections amount to about −5%.
