Abstract

We evaluate the nonperturbative contribution to the double-diffractive production of the Higgs boson, which arises due to the QCD scale anomaly if the mass of the Higgs boson, M_H, is smaller than the mass of the top quark, M_T, M_H<M_T. The cross section appears to be larger than expected from perturbative calculations; we find σ_H=0.019-0.14 pb at Fermilab Tevatron energies, and σ_H=0.01-0.27 pb at the energy of the CERN LHC.
