Parton luminosities are convenient for estimating how the physics potential of Large Hadron Collider experiments depends on the energy of the proton beams. I quantify the advantage of increasing the beam energy from 3.5 TeV to 4 TeV. I…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is expected to provide proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV, yielding millions of of top quark events. The top-physics potential of the two general purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS,…

Using the theory talks at ISMD2010 as a guidance, I present a personal review of our current understanding of multiparticle interactions in QCD. For more clarity, I separately consider hard, semi-hard, and soft interactions, and I devote…
Some of the modifications that a thermal medium, of the type generated in heavy ion collision experiments at the LHC, may impose on the properties of hadrons, are reviewed. The focus is on hadrons containing at least one heavy quark (charm…

A linear e+e- collider (LC) could go into operation in the next decade. The LHC is currently exploring the Higgs sector of the SM, various supersymmetric extensions and other models. The LC is necessary to complete the profile of a Higgs…
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented…
Forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\rm FB}$ is an essential observable to study the nature of coupling in the standard model and physics beyond the standard model, as shown at LEP and Tevatron. As a proton-proton collider, the LHC does not have…

The proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce an intense, high-energy beam of neutrinos of all flavors, collimated in the forward direction. Recently two dedicated neutrino experiments, FASER and SND@LHC, have…
Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International e+e- Linear Collider (ILC) will be complementary in many respects, as has been demonstrated at previous generations of hadron and lepton colliders. This report addresses the…
