I need to refer to the so-called Grothendieck trace formula, but after checking tens of Google pages, I still cannot find a proper reference on this topic. Could anyone tell me some good book/papers on that? Many thanks.

    $\begingroup$ Did you look at Freitag-Reinhardt: Étale cohomology and the Weil conjecture, Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete 13 (1988), in particular Chapter II, $\S 4$? $\endgroup$ Commented May 27, 2019 at 8:19

Sorry for giving an answer instead of a comment, but I am new to MathOverflow and hence I cannot comment yet.

The original references are:

  • SGA 4.1/2, Chapter 2 (MR 0463174, that can be downloaded here);
  • SGA 5, Exposé III (ZBL 0355.14004, that can be downloaded here).

and you can find modern expositions in

  • Milne, "Etale cohomology", Theorem 12.3 (MR 0559531). See also some lecture notes by the same author;
  • Freitag-Kiehl, as pointed out by Francesco Polizzi (MR 0926276)
  • Notes of the Stanford Number Theory learning seminar (here);
  • The Stacks Project, Chapter 58;
