Precision Higgs physics within and beyond the SM — •Radja Boughezal — ITP, Universitaet Zuerich, Winterthurer str.190, 8057 Zurich, Schweiz

The search for the Higgs boson is a primary goal of the LHC and a top priority at the Tevatron. The main production mechanism at both colliders is gluon fusion via a virtual heavy particle loop.

In this talk, we present new results for the Higgs production cross section, taking into account contributions from Standard Model particles as well as possible new physics effects at the next-to-next-to-leading order level in QCD. We also describe the theoretical framework where these contributions are calculated.
