I briefly review the current theoretical description of Standard Model processes relevant for the LHC, and the tools that are used in the corresponding phenomenological applications. I discuss in particular the recent theoretical progress…
The decade-old technique of combining NLO-corrected hard process with LO-level parton shower Monte Carlo is now mature and used in practice of the QCD calculations in the LHC data analysis. The next step, its extension to an NNLO-corrected…

Perturbative QCD in the high-energy limit describes the evolution of scattering amplitudes with increasing energy towards and into the so-called saturation regime. Comparisons of the predictions with experimental data for a number of…
We describe techniques that simplify the calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes with many external legs, which are needed for next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections to multi-jet processes. The constraints imposed by perturbative unitarity,…
Recent measurement of inclusive processes and hadronic final states in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering at HERA are used to investigate the QCD factorisation properties and study partonic structure of colour singlet exchange. Resolved…
We work out and review prospects for future quarkonium physics at HERA. We focus on the impact of color-octet contributions and discuss how measurements at HERA can be used to test the picture of quarkonium production as developed in the…
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
In this paper we compare the experimental HERA data with the next-to-leading order approach (NLO) of Ref.[C.~Contreras, E.~Levin, R.~Meneses and M.~Sanhueza,Eur. Phys. J. C 80 (2020) no.11, 1029). This approach includes the re-summed NLO…
This paper is a summary of the discussion within the Diffractive and Low-x Physics Working Group at the 1999 Durham Collider Workshop of the interpretation of the Tevatron and HERA measurements of inclusive hard diffraction.
The ZEUS inclusive cross-section data from HERA-I, for charged and neutral current processes, taken with $e^+$ and $e^-$ beams, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton…
