AB - We study the prediction for the Higgs transverse momentum distribution ingluon fusion and focus on the problem of matching fixed- and all-order perturbative results.The main sources of matching ambiguities on this distribution are investigated by means ofa twofold comparison. On the one hand, we present a detailed qualitative and quantitativecomparison of two recently introduced algorithms for determining the matching scale [1, 2].On the other hand, we apply the results of both methods to three widely used approaches forthe resummation of logarithmically enhanced contributions at small transverse momenta:the MC@NLO and POWHEG Monte Carlo approaches, and analytic resummation. While thethree sets of results are largely compatible in the low-p ⊥ region, they exhibit sizable differ-ences at large p ⊥ . We show that these differences can be significantly reduced by suitablemodifications of formally subleading terms in the Monte Carlo implementations. We ap-ply our study to the Standard Model Higgs boson and to the neutral Higgs bosons of theTwo-Higgs-Doublet Model for representative scenarios of the parameter space, where thetop- and bottom-quark diagrams enter the cross section at different strengths.
