Perturbative QCD for the LHC
arXiv:1103.1318
Abstract
These proceedings discuss some of the highlights of recent research in perturbative QCD as it relates to the LHC. Topics covered include the new generation of Monte Carlo event generators, the revolution that is occurring in NLO calculations, progress towards NNLO predictions and developments in the definition and use of jets.
