Physics issues at the upcoming and planned colliders are discussed. We critically review the the different arguments that suggest that New Physics is bound to materialise at the TeV scale and why we should keep an open minded approach. The…
QCD instantons are arguably the best motivated yet unobserved nonperturbative effects predicted by the Standard Model. A discovery and detailed study of instanton-generated processes at colliders would provide a new window into the…
Hadronic final states at the LHC will be an interesting testing ground for QCD. A good understanding of QCD radiation will also be important for the discovery of new physics at the LHC. I discuss some aspects of this subject and give a few…
