Abstract

QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most actively studied QCD topics: Monte Carlo models, higher-order corrections, and parton distribution functions. Thanks to that, QCD in the high-energy regime is becoming more and more an essential precision tool kit to analyse Higgs and new physics scenarios at the LHC.

  85. One must keep in mind that the calculation of refs [83,84] is fully inclusive, thus it applies to an ideal detector with a 4π coverage. If selection cuts are applied, like in ref. [91], where Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion is computed to NLO and to NNLO with a jet veto, the higher-order corrections may not be as large as in the fully inclusive calculation. Thus the ultimate judgement on the usefulness of a NNLO evaluation rests on an analysis with the cuts which will be used in the realistic simulations of the ATLAS and CMS detectors
