HAWK is a Monte Carlo integrator for the Higgs-production channels
pp → H + 2jets (VBF) and
pp → HW/HZ → Hll' (VH)
It includes:
-
NLO QCD and electroweak corrections
-
all weak-boson fusion and quark-antiquark annihilation diagrams in the VBF channel
-
all interferences at LO and NLO
-
contributions from incoming photons
-
leading heavy-Higgs-boson effects at two-loop order for VBF
-
contributions of b-quark pdfs at LO
-
an interface to LHAPDF
-
decay of the Higgs boson into a pair of gauge singlets
-
options for using an off-shell Higgs propagator
-
pp and p pbar collisions
-
anomalous HVV couplings
-
an interface to Recola/Recola2 allowing for
neutral Higgs production in the Two-Higgs-doublet Model and
the Higgs-singlet extension of the Standard Model
What is not included / planned upgrades:
-
Higgs-boson decays into specific final states
-
production of unweighted events
-
interface to parton showers
-
contributions from gg initial states
