Abstract
Motivated by the future precision test of the Higgs boson at an e + e − Higgs factory, we calculate the production e + e − → ZHγ in the Standard Model with complete next-to-leading order electroweak corrections. We find that for \( \sqrt{s} \) = 240 (350) GeV the cross section of this production is sizably reduced by the electroweak corrections, which is 1.03 (5.32) fb at leading order and 0.72 (4.79) fb at next-to-leading order. The transverse momentum distribution of the photon in the final states is also presented.
