Associated Higgs + jet(s) production at the LHC and CCFM gluon dynamics in a proton

We consider the associated production of Higgs boson and hadronic jet(s) in $pp$ collisions at the LHC for the first time using the $k_T$-factorization approach. Our analysis is based on the off-shell gluon-gluon fusion subprocess, where non-zero transverse momenta of initial gluons are taken into account and covers $H \to \gamma \gamma$, $H \to ZZ^* \to 4l$ (with $l = e,\mu$) and $H \to W^+ W^- \to e^\pm \mu^\mp \nu \bar \nu$ decay channels. The transverse momentum dependent (TMD) gluon densities in a proton are taken from Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini evolution equation. To simulate the kinematics of the produced jets the TMD parton shower implemented into the Monte-Carlo event generator \textsc{cascade} is applied. The comparison of our results with the latest experimental data taken by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at $\sqrt s = 8$ and $13$ TeV and conventional higher-order perturbative QCD calculations is presented. We highlight observables, which are sensitive to the TMD gluon densities in a proton.
