The growing toolbox of perturbative QCD

Abstract

Advances in perturbative QCD techniques have been crucial for the successful interpretation of the data collected in Run I of LHC, and for the discovery of the Higgs boson. I will very briefly highlight some recent additions to the QCD toolbox, and note how these new tools are likely to be essential for future precision physics, both in Run II at the LHC, and in view of future hadron and lepton colliders.
