We review some of the recent developments in QCD spin physics and highlight the spin program now underway at RHIC.
We discuss the new era of precision QCD as it relates to the physics requirements of the LHC for both the signal and background type processes. Some attention is paid to the issue of the theoretical error associated with any given…

I review a selection of the talks at the QCD Session of the XL Rencontre de Moriond, talks either by theorists or else of special theoretical interest. I use the talks to provide some assessment of where we stand with respect to the…
Modern and anticipated facilities will deliver data that promises to reveal the innermost workings of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In order to fulfill that promise, phenomenology and theory must reach a new level, limiting and overcoming…
A brief review of progress and issues in hadronic theory and phenomenology is presented. New results for the $X(3872)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020)$ are discussed and unresolved issues are highlighted. A series of open problems in pQCD,…
The aim of this review is to summarize the contemporary understanding of the QCD phase diagram as a function of temperature and baryo-chemical potential. The focus is on recent theoretical developments due to lattice simulations of the…
