After a very brief report on the status of the LHC preparations
(machine and detectors) I will try to summarize the current
understanding of how well specific hard scattering processes
can be measured at the LHC, and what the relevance of these
measurements is. Examples are the Drell-Yan process,
top production, W/Z + jet as well as inclusive jet production.

In the calculation of NLO corrections to multi-leg processes serious numerical
problems arise in the commonly used Passarino-Veltman reduction of tensor to
scalar integrals in exceptional phase-space configurations.
In this talk two alternative methods are discussed solving this problem.
One of the methods relies on a seminumerical approach, in which a specific
tensor coefficient is...

We perform the all-order resummation of large logarithmic(NLL)
QCD corrections for the process pp ->H+ X when the Higgs boson H is
produced at high transverse momentum.

In this talk I review the status of our GOLEM project. The acronym stands
for "General One-Loop Evaluator of Matrix-elements". This tool is designed
to allow for an efficient and numerically stable evaluation of multi-particle
one-loop amplitudes which are needed for the precise description of
numerous processes relevant for the upcoming LHC. First applications are presented.

Madgraph and Madevent are a well established tool to evaluate tree-level
amplitudes and create unweighted events for processes with a large number
of external particles at the LHC. For the Madgraph collaboration I review
the status, some physics complications and recent calculations of
Madgraph/Madevent for physics beyond the Standard Model.
