Higgs NLO Monte Carlo

Goal of the group

This group will work on Higgs cross sections (ex. differential K-factor) and Higgs specific NLO MC issues. Multi-purpose parton-shower Monte Carlo generators like Pythia, Herwig, Sherpa, including issues like underlying event, minimum bias events, are handled in MC Generator working group in ATLAS and CMS.
