Abstract	We present a detailed phenomenological analysis of the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson in association with up to three jets. The Higgs is produced via gluon fusion, which is an irreducible background to the vector boson fusion mechanism. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections in QCD in the limit of an infinitely heavy top quark. Numerical results are presented for a large variety of observables, for different selection cuts, and for different choices of the jet tagging scheme.

$Total cross sections at LO (left side of each column) and NLO (right side of each column) for \Hj (green), \Hjj (blue) and \Hjjj (red) production using the three different scale choices as explained in text. In the lower part of the plots, the ratios $r_{2/1}$ (blue), $r_{3/2}$ (red) and $r_{4/3}$ (orange) are shown. Results have been obtained for 8~\TeV and 13~\TeV (left and right plot respectively).$ $Total cross sections at LO (left side of each column) and NLO (right side of each column) for \Hj (green), \Hjj (blue) and \Hjjj (red) production using the three different scale choices as explained in text.
