Abstract

Recent progress in techniques for computing differential Next-to-Next-to Leading Order (NNLO) predictions for LHC physics has resulted in several new applications for phenomenology. In this talk we present a brief overview of the NNLO processes available in MCFM 8. As a well motivated example we use MCFM to produce differential distributions for high invariant mass photon pairs. This channel has come under increased scrutiny recently given the excess observed in LHC data around 750 GeV.
