The Binoth Les Houches Accord is an interface between Monte-Carlo generators and matrix-element providers. It is named after Thomas Binoth, who was instrumental in its creation and was killed in an avalanche days before its release[1], and the Les Houches workshop series.

Two versions of the interface have been defined so far. [2] [3]
