Fitting the b-quark PDF as a massive-b scheme: Higgs production in bottom fusion

Abstract We show that a simple and accurate approach to the computation of hadron collider processes involving initial-state b quarks can be obtained by introducing an independently parametrized b PDF. We use the so-called FONLL method for the matching of a scheme in which the b quark is treated as...
