Experimental Tests of QCD

Abstract

The first very successful LHC running period has been finished. At 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy about 5/fb of data have been collected and at 8 TeV even 20/fb. Many detailed analyses of these data are still going on. The latest measurements on photon, weak boson plus jet, and jet production are compared against the most recent theory predictions. They are complemented by new results reported by the experiments at the Tevatron and HERA colliders. Finally, several new determinations of the strong coupling constant from jet data are presented.

On behalf of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, 8 pages, 8 figures, pdflatex, to be published in the Proceedings of the Rencontres du Vietnam, Inaugural Conference of ICISE on "Windows on the Universe", Quy Nhon, Vietnam, August 11-17, 2013
