Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of observables which can be both measured and predicted at the level of a few percent. Such studies parallel those of the electroweak sector over the past fifteen years, and deviations from expectations would be a sign of new physics. These observables provide a firm ``place to stand'' from which to extend our understanding. This links to the second category of study, where one deliberately moves to regions in which the usual theoretical tools fail; here new approximations in QCD are developed to increase our portfolio of understood processes, and hence our sensitivity to new physics. Recent progress in both these aspects of QCD at colliders is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-01-03T12:18:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum chromodynamics", "usual theoretical tools fail", "strong interaction", "second category", "studies parallel" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics A", "year": 2006, "volume": 21, "number": "8-09", "pages": 1792 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 707861, "adsabs": "2006IJMPA..21.1792B" } } }
