The approach relies on the Powheg method for merging the NLO Higgs plus jet cross-section with the parton shower, and on the Minlo method to simultaneously achieve NLO accuracy for inclusive Higgs boson production. The NNLO accuracy is reached by a reweighting procedure making use of the Hnnlo program. date: 2013-10 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2013)222 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: crossref elements_id: 923244 doi: 10.1007/JHEP10(2013)222 lyricists_name: Hamilton, Keith lyricists_id: KHAMI42 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of High Energy Physics volume: 2013 number: 10 article_number: 222 issn: 1029-8479 citation: Hamilton, K; Nason, P; Re, E; Zanderighi, G; (2013) NNLOPS simulation of Higgs boson production.
