Finite top mass effects for hadronic Higgs production at next-to-next-to-leading order
read the original abstract
The first four terms of an expansion in mH^2/mt^2 of the total inclusive cross section for Higgs production in gluon fusion are evaluated through next-to-next-to-leading order QCD. A reliable and precise approximation of the full top mass dependence at NNLO is derived and compared to the frequently used heavy-top limit. It is found that both results agree numerically to better than 0.5% in the Higgs mass range of 100-300 GeV. This validates the higher order results for the inclusive Higgs cross section and justifies the heavy-top limit as a powerful tool for Higgs phenomenology at the LHC and the Tevatron.

Measurements of the Higgs boson production, fiducial and differential cross-sections in the four lepton decay channel using 164 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS measures the fiducial cross-section for H to four leptons as 3.65 fb matching the SM prediction of 3.68 fb, with signal strength 0.99 and differential distributions all consistent with expectations.
