Abstract
In this work, we study the production of Higgs boson pairs at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD matched to parton showers, using the Geneva framework and working in the heavy-top-limit approximation. This includes the resummation of large logarithms of the zero-jettiness T0 up to the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-log accuracy. This process features an extremely large momentum transfer, which makes its study particularly relevant for matching schemes such as that employed in Geneva, where the resummation of a variable different from that used in the ordering of the parton shower is used. To further study this effect, we extend the original shower interface designed for Pythia8 to include other parton showers, such as Dire and Sherpa.
