Abstract
We report on the calculation of the full next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to the production of final states at the LHC, which deliver a serious background contribution to the production of a Higgs boson (decaying into a pair) in association with a pair. While the corrections significantly reduce the unphysical scale dependence of the leading-order cross section, our results predict an enhancement of the production cross section by a factor of about 1.8.
