Simon David Badger
(NBI)
Description
This merged talk is expected to discuss recent developments and status of precision calculations and MC Tools, their future and impact, especially in the EW sector and higher order QCD, for SM physics at the LHC (and beyond). If possible the talk should also touch on issues related to heavy flavour production, jet veto-ing, and predictions for A_FB and A_c (top). Scalar boson production is covered elsewhere, in a separate talk in the session on EW symmetry breaking.
