Abstract
The lecture gives an overview of the physics at high-energycolliders. After the introduction of the theoretical concepts, themost important applications are described in detail: the production ofjets, heavy quarks, and electroweak gauge bosons. The experimentalprogram at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is also discussed, withspecial emphasis on the postulated Higgs particle.
