Description

In this talk, I will present the NLO QCD corrections to the production of a Higgs boson pair in gluon fusion. The full top quark mass dependence is retained throughout the calculation. I will review the sector decomposition method used for the calculation of the appearing two-loop integrals and give details on the calculation of the virtual amplitude. Finally I will present results and assess the effect of the exact top quark mass dependence by comparing to various approximations.
