This year lattice QCD has become very public. A new generation of simulations (including light dynamical quarks) have produced results which are in close agreement with many ``easy'' experimental quantities, and precise predictions for…
In this talk I review some challenges which await perturbative QCD at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, I consider the underlying event, Monte Carlo methods and next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations.
Quantum Chromodynamics is an established part of the Standard Model and an essential part of the toolkit for searching for new physics at high-energy colliders. I present a status report on the theory of QCD and review some of the important…
We review the recent progress achieved in the theoretical investigation of Quantum Chromodynamics in the high temperature regime, with a focus on results achieved by lattice QCD simulations. The discussion covers the structure of the phase…
In this talk we summarize some recent developments in perturbative QCD and their application to particle physics phenomenology.
The topics covered by the lectures include Symanzik's effective continuum theory, O(a) improvement, chiral symmetry on the lattice and non-perturbative renormalization.
I give an outline and some discussion of the results presented during the hadronic final states parallel sessions of the meeting, and some opinions about the current state of play and future directions in this area.
In this talk I give the mini-review on recent development in the non-linear QCD (at low $x$).
In this talk I present the logic behind, and examine the reliability of, estimates of the critical end point (CEP) of QCD using the Taylor expansion method.
This talk is the second part of the summary of the theory section at DIS'97. We demonstrated that theory of the "hard" processes, based on QCD, has achieved a better understanding of available experimental data during the past year. This…
This talk summarizes recent progress in lattice QCD for dense quark matter. The emphasis is on the insights obtained from analytical results derived within chiral perturbation theory.
The present knowledge of the QCD phase diagram based on simulations of lattice QCD is summarised. The main questions are whether there is a critical point in the QCD phase diagram and whether it is related to a chiral phase transition. It…
We review the descriptions of hard exclusive processes based on QCD factorization.
We review recent speculations on power like corrections in QCD which go beyond the standard Operator Product Expansion. Both the theoretical picture underlying these corrections and phenomenological manifestations are discussed in some…
In these lecture notes I describe the theory of QCD and its application, through perturbation theory, at particle colliders.
The architecture and capabilities of the computers currently in use for large-scale lattice QCD calculations are described and compared. Based on this present experience, possible future directions are discussed.

Current status of theoretical researches on the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special emphasis on the origin of various phases and their symmetry breaking patterns. Topics include;…
