Recent theoretical progress in perturbative QCD

Abstract

We review selected recent theoretical activity in perturbative QCD. We focus on progress in the description of parton densities, including latest developments in neural network parton densities, on the description of high multiplicity final states at the LHC at leading and next-to-leading order, on progress in next-to-next-to-leading order, and on novel developments in jets physics.
