Abstract:
The Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM) represents humanity's current understanding of the microscopic universe. Precise measurements of scattering processes are a cornerstone of the LHC physics programme and allow us to test the SM with high precision. Besides experimental measurements, higher-order perturbative predictions, particularly in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), are necessary to overcome the limitations posed by theoretical uncertainties. In this talk, I will provide an overview of precision QCD predictions for the LHC, while also exploring them in the context of (multi-)jet processes, an important probe for perturbative QCD, parton distribution functions, and the strong coupling constant at high energies. In addition, I will present recent ideas for estimating theoretical uncertainties arising from missing higher orders based on theory nuisance parameters.
