アブストラクト: Prophecy4f: The decay of the Higgs boson into four fermions via a virtual W-boson or Z-boson pair is one of the most important decay modes in the Higgs-boson search at the LHC. We present a Monte Carlo event generator for these processes called Prophecy4f, which contains the complete NLO electroweak and QCD radiative corrections. The intermediate W- and Z-boson resonances are described in a gauge invariant way in the so-called complex-mass scheme. Potential numerical problems due to small determinants in the loop calculation are solved by applying recently developed techniques. The corrections to partial decay widths typically amount to some per cent and increase with growing Higgs mass reaching about 8% at mH = 500 GeV. For angular distributions, which can be used for measuring the CP properties of the Higgs boson, the corrections are somewhat larger, distort the shapes and sensitively depend on the treatment of photon radiation.
