 SM and NLO Multi-leg, jets and Higgs 

  Session I: 30 May-8 June 2011

New approaches  (unitarity technqiues, string inspired, bootstrap, ...),   Improvements on standard techniques (semi-numerical approach, automatization, ..) NNLO, Higgs observables, jets
This group will address the issue of the theoretical predictions for multileg processes, in particular beyond leading order, and the possibility of implementing these calculations in Monte Carlos. This working group aims at a cross breeding between novel approaches (twistors, unitarity cuts,...) and improvements in standard techniques. The precision NLO and in some instances NNLO predictions extend also to Higgs observables.  New development in the physics of jets will also covered.
