Title: QCD correction to the pp → WH and ZH total cross sections
Abstract: We calculated the QCD correction to the total cross section for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a W or Z boson at the LHC/SSC. The QCD-corrected cross section is insensitive to the choice of factorization and renormalization scales. Setting these scales to the invariant mass of the VH final state, the QCD correction increases the lowest-order cross section by about 17% / 15% in the DIS factorization scheme, and 12% / 10% in the MS scheme, at the LHC/SSC.
