QCD Factorization and SCET at NLO

Abstract

In this article we review recent advances in the area of QCD factorization. We begin with a brief outline of QCD factorization, as well as a description of some recent results regarding B-->VV decays. We examine what is necessary at NLO, look at recent advances towards that goal and consider what remains to be done.
