【 摘 要 】

We summarize recent progress in next-to-leading QCD calculations made using the Monte Carlo MCFM. In particular, we focus on the calculations of p(bar p) (r-arrow) Wb(bar b), Zb(bar b) and highlight the significant corrections to background estimates for Higgs searches in the channels WH and ZH at the Tevatron. We also report on the current progress of, and strategies for, the calculation of the process p(bar p) (r-arrow) W/Z + 2 jets.
