Perturbative QCD at High Energy Colliders

Abstract

Selected applications of perturbative Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) to predictions of the Standard Model for processes at high energy colliders are reviewed with emphasis on past successes and future problems. This is a personal retrospective is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the field.
