Perturbation Theory for High-Precision Lattice QCD
Recent developments suggest that lattice QCD is now capable of few-percent calculations for a variety of important nonperturbative quantities. The main bottleneck slowing lattice results now is a lack of high-order calculations in (lattice) perturbative QCD. This talk will review the recent breakthroughs in lattice QCD, their implications for particle physics, and the essential role of perturbation theory in future progress.
