Description

We show how the polarized amplitudes of $b \bar{b} \rightarrow Z h$ associated with a non-vanishing $b$-quark Yukawa coupling and a scalar or pseudoscalar Higgs boson $h$ can be built up solely from vector form factors (FF) of properly grouped classes of diagrams, bypassing completely the need of explicitly manipulating $\gamma_5$ in dimensional regularization.

In addition, the FFs of a class of corrections to $q \bar{q} \rightarrow ZH$ proportional to the top-Yukawa coupling are obtained analytically to two-loop order in QCD in the heavy-top limit. We address a pitfall that occurs when applying the non-anticommutating $\gamma_5$ prescription to this class of contributions that has been overlooked so far in the literature.
