• Each lepton must be isolated. Any jet found by the algorithm that lies within a η − φ distance of 0 . 4 from a lepton should have a transverse momentum less than 10% of that of the lepton itself. • The missing transverse momentum – in our parton level study, the sum of the two neutrino momenta – is constrained using the E$_{t}$ / spec variable defined by [34], E$_{t}$ / spec = E$_{t}$ / sin [ min ( Δ φ, π 2 )] . (13) Δ φ is the distance between the E$_{t}$ / vector and the nearest lepton or jet. We require that E$_{t}$ / spec > 25 GeV. In Figure 1 we see the scale dependence of the LO and NLO cross sections for m$_{H}$ = 160 GeV. The upper two curves show the case of the minimal set of cuts in Eq. (11) and the lower curves show the results when including the Higgs search cuts above. Applying the additional cuts on the Higgs decay products does not change the scale dependence, indicating that the isolation and missing transverse momentum cuts (that are sensitive to additional radiation) do not play an important role. Applying the additional search cuts does not alter the behaviour of the NLO prediction in the Higgs + ≥ 2 jet bin, so that the results presented in the previous section (with no cuts on the Higgs decay products) are sufficient to estimate the percentage theoretical uncertainty. V. LHC RESULTS In order to study the impact of the NLO corrections at the LHC, we adopt a different set of cuts to define the jets. The rapidity range of the detectors is expected to be much broader, allowing for a larger jet separation too, and we choose a somewhat higher minimum transverse momentum, In this section we do not consider the decay of the Higgs boson for the sake of simplicity. Since results for this scenario have already been discussed at some length [12], we restrict ourselves to a short survey of the essential elements of the phenomenology at the lower centre- of-mass energy, √$_{s}$ = 10 TeV. We present the scale dependence of the LHC cross section p$_{t}$ (jet) > 40 GeV , | η$_{jet}$ | < 4 . 5 , R$_{jet}$$_{,}$$_{jet}$ > 0 . 8 . (14) 8
