Title: Progress in next-to-next-to-leading order QCD
Speaker: Professor Nigel Glover (Durham)
Abstract
I review some successes of perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order. I give reasons why next-to-next-to-leading order calculations for scattering processes might be important and how they will improve our understanding of QCD. I describe the theoretical requirements for constructing a NNLO parton level Monte Carlo and describe recent developments in the field.
