We consider the defocusing $\dot{H}^{1/2}$-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions $d\geq 4.$ In the spirit of Kenig and Merle [10], we combine a concentration-compactness approach with the Lin--Strauss Morawetz inequality to prove that if a solution $u$ is bounded in $\dot{H}^{1/2}$ throughout its lifespan, then $u$ is global and scatters.
Keywords: $\dot{H}^{1/2}$-critical, Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, scattering., Lin-Strauss Morawetz inequality, concentrationcompactness.
