Abstract
We consider QCD corrections to Higgs boson production through gluon-gluon f usion in hadron collisions. Using the recently evaluated [14] two-loop ampl itude for this process and the corresponding factorization formulae [15]-[1 8] describing soft-gluon bremsstrahlung at O(alpha (2)(S)), we compute the soft and virtual contributions to the next-to-next-to-leading order cross s ection. We also discuss soft-gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading l ogarithmic accuracy. Numerical results for Higgs boson production at the LH C are presented.
