Abstract:
This report documents the results obtained by the Working Group on Quantum
Chromodynamics and the Standard Model for the Workshop `Physics at TeV
Colliders'', Les Houches, France, 26 May - 6 June 2003. After a Monte Guide
description, the first contributions report on progress in describing multiple
interactions, important for the LHC, and underlying events. An announcement of
a Monte Carlo database, under construction, is then followed by a number of
contributions improving parton shower descriptions. Subsequently, a large
number of contributions address resummations in various forms, after which
follow studies of QCD effects in pion pair, top quark pair and photon pair plus
jet production. After a study of electroweak corrections to hadronic precision
observables, the report ends by presenting recent progress in methods to
compute finite order corrections at one-loop with many legs, and at two-loop.
