Some recurring themes
Precision experiments must be matched by precision theory
The very high energy part is (except for speculations onwhich BSM) under control
The QCD and QED running to a low scale is now typicallydone at NNLO or even N3LO.
EW for many now at NLO
So precision is needed in the last steps
Recurring themes:
Radiative corrections (photons in experiment)Other electro-magnetic corrections (photons in theory)In ChPT and sum rules: determine all parametersIn Lattice QCD: proper matching to continuum quantitiesLong distance contributions: (∆S = 1)2 vs ∆S = 2Isospin breaking
