Description
We present the exact next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to the light-quark part of the mixed QCD-EW contributions to quark-induced Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider, for a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, with exact EW-boson mass dependence. The relevant two-loop real-emission matrix elements, $gq(\overline{q})\to q(\overline{q})H$ and $q\overline{q}\to gH$, are computed using one-dimensional series expansion strategy together with spline interpolation. A phenomenological study of the total cross-section and the Higgs $p_T$ distribution is presented.
