Tests of Perturbative QCD and Jet Physics

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

I describe the current status of tests of perturbative QCD, using measurements of jet, photon, weak boson and heavy flavor production from the Tevatron, LEP and HERA. Measurements of the strong coupling constant are described, and I conclude with a "wish list" for the future.
