Since most interesting measurements at the LHC are indirect, the question of the role of theoretical modeling in the interpretation of LHC measurements becomes more and more relevant. Increasing the theoretical precision is one way to reduce such uncertainties and make the interpretation of the measurements more convincing. Examples are high-precision self consistency tests of the Standard Model (after all we are searching for bSM physics!) and various more direct limits on the existence of New Physics. Through examples I’ll explain where we stand today, compared to the recent past, as well as what can be expected in the near future in terms of precision developments.
