Extending the Matrix Element Method to Next-to-Leading Order

Abstract

We discuss the extension of the matrix element method (MEM) to Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in perturbation theory. In particular we focus on the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson which decays into four leptons.

Talk presented at the QCD session of the Rencontres de Moriond 2012
