The Monte Carlo integratorHAWKprovides precision predictions for Higgs production at hadron colliders in vector-boson fusion and Higgs strahlung, i.e. in production processes where theHiggs boson isAttached toWeaKbosons. The fully differential predictions include the full QCD and electroweak next-to-leading-order corrections. Results are computed as integrated cross sections and as binned distributions for important hadron-collider observables.Program summaryProgram title:HAWK, version 2.0Catalogue identifier:AEWT_v1_0Program summary URL:http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/AEWT_v1_0.htmlProgram obtainable from:CPC Program Library, Queen’s University, Belfast, N.

[1–3].Solution method:Multi-channel Monte Carlo integration of perturbative matrix elements including higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections which are based on a Feynman-diagrammatic calculation.Restrictions:For vector-boson fusion, only the Higgs-boson decay into a pair of massless singlets is supported. For Higgs strahlung, decay products are not supported, while the Higgs boson can be off shell.Running time:Meaningful results can be obtained within a few hours on a single core. The statistical uncertainty of the results typically improves with the square root of the run time.References:[1]M. Ciccolini, A. Denner, S. Dittmaier, Phys. Rev.
