Experimental QCD summary (ICHEP 2020)

This writeup summarizes the main experimental studies of the strong interaction, theoretically described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), that were presented during the ICHEP-2020 conference. The latest results, measured mostly in p-p collisions at the LHC, are categorized in seven broad topics: (i) Extractions of the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s(m_{\mathrm{Z}})$; (ii) Comparison of data to fixed-order (N${}^{\mathrm{n}}$LO) perturbative QCD calculations; (iii) Determinations of parton distribution functions (PDFs); (iv) Comparison of data to resummed (N${}^{\mathrm{n}}$LL) pQCD calculations; (v) Parton showering and jet substructure analyses; (vi) Semihard (double parton interactions, multiparton interactions, hard diffraction), and soft (elastic and diffractive) QCD scatterings; and (vii) Studies of parton hadronization in ${\mathrm{e}}^{+}{\mathrm{e}}^{-}$ and p-p collisions.
