Description

The transverse momentum (pT) distributions of Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons are among the most prominent observables measured at the LHC.
The expected quality of their experimental data requires high precision theoretical predictions to enable maximally accurate physics analyses like Standard Model tests, new physics searches, or PDF fits.
I will discuss recent developments and future prospects in the theoretical description of pT spectra at small and large transverse momenta, which are largely based on effective field theory techniques.
I will put a focus on bottom mass effects in the peak (small-pT) region of the Higgs transverse momentum distribution and third-order QCD calculations for direct photon production at large pT.
