Description

I will present the BlackHat one-loop library, which implements on-shell methods to compute one-loop amplitudes and show its use in conjuction with Sherpa to produce NLO accurate predictions for high multiplicity processes at the LHC and Tevatron. I will also discuss the use of ROOT n-tuple files to store the information needed to compute different results and to transmit them to experimenters.
