Abstract

We present QCD predictions for the transverse momentum (q_T) distribution of the Higgs boson at the LHC. At small q_T the logarithmically-enhanced terms are resummed to all orders up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The resummed component is consistently matched to the next-to-leading order calculation valid at large q_T. The results, which implement the most advanced perturbative predictions available at present for this observable, show a good stability with respect to theoretical uncertainties. The numerical program HqT, used to perform the calculation, is briefly discussed.
