Analytic expressions for the planar master integrals in two-loop NLO EW light-fermion contributions to gg → ZH are derived via canonical differential equations and expressed using Goncharov polylogarithms or one-fold integrals over them.

abstract
We present fully differential next-to-leading order results for Higgs production in association with a $Z$ boson in gluon fusion. Our two-loop virtual contributions are evaluated numerically using sector decomposition, including full top-quark mass effects, and supplemented at high $p_T$ by an analytic high-energy expansion to order ($m_Z^4, m_H^4, m_t^{32}$). Using the expanded results we also present a study of the top-quark mass scheme uncertainty at large $p_T$.

The ggxy library implements NLO QCD corrections for gg→ZH and gg→ZZ with full top-quark mass dependence using high-energy and forward-limit expansions, validated against existing results and interfaced to POWHEG for parton-shower matching.
NLO+NLL QCD corrections to gluon-fusion ZH production increase the cross-section by ~20% and reduce scale uncertainties from 20% to 12% at LHC energies, combined with Drell-Yan N3LL results.
