Precision QCD at the LHC
Prof. Dr. Giulia Zanderighi (Department of Phyisics, University of Oxford, U.K.)

Thanks to the outstanding performances of the LHC, ATLAS and CMS have already recorded about five times more data in 2016 than in 2015, in just a few months of operations. The wealth of new data allows one to perform the most precise tests of the Standard Model, heralding a new era in the explorations of the Higgs sector. In this talk, I will review the remarkable progress that precision calculations have made in the last years and I will discuss their impact in the LHC context. I will also illustrate the conceptual bottlenecks of high-precision QCD calculations and the challenges that such computations will have to face in the coming years.
