Abstract
Seeking and measuring new physics at the imminent Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will require extensive calculations of high-multiplicity backgrounds in perturbative QCD to next-to-leading order (NLO). The Les Houches 2005 workshop defined a target list, reproduced in table 1, for theorists to attack. In addition to the processes in the table, one would also like to compute processes such as W, Z + 4 jets, which are important backgrounds to searches for supersymmetry and other models of new electroweak physics. Such computations require one-loop amplitudes with seven external particles, including the vector boson, as depicted in figure 1. These are challenging calculations and Feynman-diagrammatic computations have only recently reached six-point amplitudes. Some of this progress has been described in this conference.
