Description
Given the absence of a direct evident for new physics at the LHC, indirect searches are becoming more and more prominent. Precision theory predictions are crucial to enhance the sensitivity in these searches. I will review the status of today's theoretical description of Standard Model processes relevant for the analysis of LHC data. I will focus on cross-sections relevant for Higgs searches, both for the description of the signal and of the backgrounds, and on benchmark processes for discoveries.
