Abstract

Electroweak radiative corrections form a crucial ingredient in modern precision calculations for particle processes at high-energy colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider. The salient features of electroweak corrections as well as currently used techniques and concepts for their calculation are reviewed. Recent progress in this enterprise is illustrated in a discussion of electroweak multi-gauge-boson production processes: massive di-boson production, vector-boson scattering, and massive tri-boson production.
