Higgs production at NNLOPS

Abstract

We describe the method used to build a simulation of Higgs boson production accurate at next-to-next-to-leading order and matched to a parton shower. The adopted procedure makes use of a combination of the POWHEG and MiNLO methods. We also use results from HNNLO as final input to reach the claimed accuracy. Results for typical observables are shown.
