Abstract

We sum the leading logarithms αsnln2n−1(1−z), n = 1, 2,.. , near the kinematic threshold z=mH2/ŝ→1 at next-to-leading power in the expansion in (1 − z) for Higgs production in gluon fusion. We highlight the new contributions compared to Drell-Yan production in quark-antiquark annihilation and show that the final result can be obtained to all orders by the substitution of the colour factor CF → CA, confirming previous fixed-order results. We also provide a numerical analysis of the next-to-leading power leading logarithms, which indicates that they are numerically relevant.
