QCD AND QED CORRECTIONS TO HIGGS-BOSON PRODUCTION IN CHARGED-CURRENT EP SCATTERING

First-order QCD and leading QED corrections to Higgs-boson production in the channel e-p --> vH0X;H0 --> bbBAR are calculated for the kinematical conditions at LEP X LHC (square-root s = 1360 GeV) and the interesting mass range 80 < M(H) < 150 GeV. In the DIS scheme the QCD corrections (not including the corrections to the branching ratio, which are well known) are found to be about 1% for the total cross section and -13% to -10% for the observable cross section as defined by appropriate cuts. The latter results depend on the definition of these cuts. The QED corrections amount to about -5%.
