Mixed scalar-pseudoscalar Higgs boson production through next-to-next-to-leading order at the LHC

Abstract We study the production of a mixed scalar-pseudoscalar Higgs boson in gluon fusion at the LHC, through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. We obtain fully differential results, including the decay of the Higgs boson to two charged lepton pairs. We discuss the impact of the interfer...
