v1 v2 129 129 ==== libintf_15.f ==== 130 130 131 The file libintf_15.f contains the LO interferences between the VBF-like diagrams (eg. ud- >udh, uu->uuh) as well as the interferences between VBF and S-channel (udbar->udbarh). It as been checked with Madgraph point by point in the phase space and at the integrated level.131 The file libintf_15.f contains the LO interferences between the VBF-like diagrams (eg. ud->udh, uu->uuh) as well as the interferences between VBF and S-channel (udbar->udbarh).

Those diagrams are suppressed in the mt- >infty limit. However, this contribution can be substantial at the LHC. (See for example [http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0307206 Brein, Djouadi, Harlander]), and have been computed in this work by [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.42.2253 Kniehl] (see also attachment kniehl.pdf)144 * In particular we neglect diagrams including a top box coupled to two gluons, a Z and the higgs, and their interference with diagrams included in our calculation.

Since b->u << b->c, we just need to check the effect of the latter.
