Most famously the MEM was used in the discovery of the top q uark and measure its mass at the Tevatron. However the major drawback of the method is its limitation to leading order matrix elements. This work w ill illustrate how NLO corrections can be calculated on an event by event basis\, providing the ability to define the MEM at NLO.\n\nhttp://indico.c ern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=23&sessionId=2&confId=156078 LOCATION:U.

The logarithms are associated with th e rapidities of factorized partons (which are either soft or collinear to specified directions) diverging under certain phase space constraints. The resummation is necessary for a consistent formulation of the perturbation series\, and cannot be captured by standard renormalization group techniq ues. The formalism allows for a consistent merging of resummed corrections with the low energy matrix elements\, with full control of the errors in the resummation scheme. Applications to the jet broadening observable and the Higgs transverse momentum cross-sections are outlined.\n\nhttp://indic o.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=25&sessionId=2&confId=156078 LOCATION:U.

These terms dominate the threshold region of the partonic cross section an d are resummed directly in momentum space using an effective-theory framew ork based on SCET and pNRQCD. This differs from the more conventional appr oach where soft logarithms are exponentiated in Mellin-moment space. The c ombined resummation of soft and Coulomb corrections can lead to much bigge r effects than soft resummation alone\, with corrections of up to 120% to the fixed-order NLO result for gluino-gluino production at 7 TeV\, and sma ller (but still sizeable) effects for the other production processes.

In 2011\, given the advances in automatic NLO calculations\, we have closed the wish list\, and instead have added a similar list for c alculations needed at NNLO.

Finally\,\nwe will describe the user's inter face and illustrate\nhow the tool performs in practice.\n\nhttp://indico.c ern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=15&sessionId=1&confId=156078 LOCATION:U.

Together with the O(alpha_s) corrections to q qbar' -> W b bbar g\, which can be obtained from our results by crossing symmetry\, th is represents the bulk of the next-to-leading order virtual QCD correction s to W b bbar + j and W b + j hadronic production\, calculated in a fixed- flavor scheme with four light flavors. Furthermore\, these corrections rep resent a well defined and independent subset of the 1-loop amplitudes need ed for the NNLO calculation of W b bbar. Our approach was tested against s everal\nexisting results for NLO amplitudes including selected O(alpha_s) one-loop corrections to W + 3j hadronic production. We discuss the efficie ncy of our method both with respect to evaluation time and numerical stabi lity.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=51&session Id=2&confId=156078 LOCATION:U.
