Introducing version 2 of the code vh@nnlo, we study the effects of a numberof new-physics scenarios on the Higgs-Strahlung process. In particular, thecross section is evaluated within a general 2HDM and the MSSM. While theDrell-Yan-like contributions are consistently taken into account by a simplerescaling of the SM result, the gluon-initiated contribution is supplemented bysquark-loop mediated amplitudes, and by the $s$-channel exchange of additionalscalars which may lead to conspicuous interference effects. The latter holds aswell for bottom-quark initiated Higgs Strahlung, which is also included in thenew version of vh@nnlo. Using an orthogonal rotation of the three Higgs CPeigenstates in the 2HDM and the MSSM, vh@nnlo incorporates a simple means of CPmixing in these models. Moreover, the effect of vector-like quarks in the SM onthe gluon-initiated contribution can be studied. Beyond concrete models,vh@nnlo allows to include the effect of higher-dimensional operators on theproduction of CP-even Higgs bosons. Transverse momentum distributions of thefinal state Higgs boson and invariant mass distributions of the $V\phi$ finalstate for the gluon- and bottom-quark initiated contributions can be studied.Distributions for the Drell-Yan-like component of Higgs-Strahlung can beincluded through a link to MCFM. vh@nnlo can also be linked to FeynHiggs and2HDMC for the calculation of Higgs masses and mixing angles. It can also readthese parameters from an SLHA-file as produced by standard spectrum generators.Throughout the manuscript, we highlight new-physics effects in variousnumerical examples, both at the inclusive level and for distributions.
