  The study of QCD processes at the LHC will serve two main goals. First the
predictions of QCD will be tested and precision measurements will be performed.
Second QCD processes represent a major part of the background to other Standard
Model processes and signals of new physics at the LHC and thus need to be
understood precisely in the new kinematic region available here. Furthermore,
the production cross-sections for almost all processes are controlled by QCD.
