Abstract

The study of QCD processes at the LHC will serve two main goals. First, the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics will be tested and precision measurements will be performed, allowing additional constraints to be established, and providing measurements of the strong coupling constant. Second, QCD processes represent a major part of the background to other Standard Model processes and signals of new physics at the LHC and therefore need to be understood in depth. An overview of various measurements of QCD-related processes to be performed at the LHC is presented, based on final states containing high-pr leptons, photons and jets. Moreover, possible deviations from QCD predictions indicating presence of new physics are discussed.
