We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to the loop-induced production of a photon pair through gluon fusion, including massive top quarks at two loops, where the two-loop integrals are calculated numerically. Matching the fixed-order NLO results to a threshold expansion, we obtain accurate results around the top quark pair production threshold. We analyse how the top quark threshold corrections affect distributions of the photon pair invariant mass and comment on the possibility of determining the top quark mass from precision measurements of the diphoton invariant mass spectrum.

  1. Two-loop QCD corrections to $ZH$ and off-shell $Z$ boson pair production in gluon fusion

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    The paper provides fast, analytic two-loop virtual QCD corrections for gluon-induced ZH and off-shell ZZ production with full top-quark mass dependence, validated against numerical results at the sub-percent level.
