Description
The large quantity of data expected from the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) will allow detailed investigations of the Higgs boson,
as well as searches for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics
through small deviations in Standard Model (SM) signatures. In order
to take full advantage of this dataset, it is essential to confront
the measurements with high precision theoretical predictions. These
require complicated calculations in the quantum field theories that
comprise the SM. I will review the current status and future prospects
of these computations, focusing on next-to-next-to-leading order (and
higher) calculations in perturbative QCD.
