Standard Model Theory for Collider Physics

Abstract

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 in NLO and NNLO QCD calculations, electroweak corrections, resummations, Monte Carlo tools and parton distribution functions.
