Abstract
We detail a simulation of Higgs boson production via gluon fusion, accurate at next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, including matching to a parton shower, yielding a fully exclusive, hadron-level description of the final-state. The approach relies on the Powheg method for merging the NLO Higgs plus jet cross-section with the parton shower, and on the Minlo method to simultaneously achieve NLO accuracy for inclusive Higgs boson production.
