  "abstract": "We consider higher-order QCD corrections to the production of colourless high-mass systems (lepton pairs, vector bosons, Higgs bosons,...) in hadron collisions. We propose a new formulation of the subtraction method to numerically compute arbitrary infrared-safe observables for this class of processes. To cancel the infrared divergences, we exploit the universal behaviour of the associated transverse-momentum (q_T) distributions in the small-q_T region. The method is illustrated in general terms up to the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. As a first explicit application, we study Higgs boson production through gluon fusion. Our calculation is implemented in a parton level Monte Carlo program that includes the decay of the Higgs boson in two photons. We present selected numerical results at the LHC.",
