Perturbative QCD as a tool for precision QCD at colliders
Lecture II

In the following we will concentrate on the
perturbative regime of QCD.
In particular, we’ll discuss generic properties of QCD amplitudes
- Soft-collinear divergences (and how they are dealt with)
- Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg theorem
- The concept of infrared finiteness
