Recent Progress in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

In this talk, the recent breakthrough in two-loop perturbative calculations is reviewed, with emphasis on the applications to phenomenological studies. The recent precision measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon by the Brookhaven g-2 collaboration is also used as an illustrative example of the importance of Standard Model precision perturbative calculations to further our understanding of Nature.

Plenary talk given at ICHEP02, July 24-31, 2002, Amsterdam
