The paper discusses the current status of the next-to-leading order (NLO) parton-level integrator MCFM, focusing on recent additions to the code for the Higgs + 2-jet process and the production and decay of top quark pairs. The authors compare the performance of the Tevatron at $\sqrt{s} = 2$ TeV with the LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV, emphasizing the potential for the Tevatron to accumulate 16 fb$^{-1}$ of data, which would provide significant insights into $q\bar{q}$ initiated processes, particularly for the Higgs boson. The Higgs + 2 jet process is highlighted as a key area, with new analytic calculations improving the speed and accuracy of the code. The top quark pair production and decay are also discussed, noting their importance as background processes in hadron colliders. The paper concludes by sketching the potential for the Tevatron to run until 16 fb$^{-1}$ is accumulated, providing complementary information to the LHC, especially for the low-mass Higgs boson.The paper discusses the current status of the next-to-leading order (NLO) parton-level integrator MCFM, focusing on recent additions to the code for the Higgs + 2-jet process and the production and decay of top quark pairs.
