4 calculations Require three principal ingredients (here: pp j) two-loop matrix elements explicit infrared poles from loop integral known for all massless processes one-loop matrix elements explicit infrared poles from loop integral and implicit poles from single real emission usually known from NLO calculations tree-level matrix elements implicit poles from double real emission known from LO calculations Infrared poles cancel in the sum Challenge: combine contributions into parton-level generator need method to extract implicit infrared poles 3

5 calculations Solutions sector decomposition: expansion in distributions, numerical integration (T. Binoth, G. Heinrich; C. Anastasiou, K. Melnikov, F. Petriello; M. Czakon) applied to corrections to Higgs and vector boson production (C. Anastasiou, K. Melnikov, F. Petriello) subtraction: add and subtract counter-terms: processindependent approximations in all unresolved limits, analytical integration several well-established methods at NLO q T subtraction at applied to Higgs and vector boson production, associated H+W production, diphoton production (S. Catani, M. Grazzini; with L. Cieri, G. Ferrera, D. de Florian, F. Tramontano) antenna subtraction at for jet observables in e + e - collisions (T. Gehrmann, N. Glover, AG) 4

6 methods: new developments sector decomposition combined with subtraction use sector decomposition to compute integrated subtraction terms numerically (M. Czakon; R. Boughezal, K. Melnikov, F. Petriello) applied to top quark pair production (P. Bärnreuther, M. Czakon, A. Mitov) non-linear mappings (C. Anastasiou, F. Herzog, A. Lazopoulos) applied to Higgs decay into bottom quarks (C. Anastasiou, F. Herzog, A. Lazopoulos) applied to Higgs production in botton fusion (S. Bühler, F. Herzog, A. Lazopoulos, R.
