Topics for Consideration

List from Fawzi

  • Presentation of LHC results. Intimately related to this is the issue of fiducial cross sections. This has both theory/modelling/MC aspects.
  • Issues with the WW cross section. By June I guess the issue will be settled but this is also a good example of “presentation of results”, estimating the th error, MC error, etc….
  • reviewing jet veto?
  • LH wish list. Update. Issues with EWRC and NNLO.
  • New Physics and Higgs, what should we concentrate on.

Quark/Gluon Discrimination

Suggested by Jesse.

  • Overlaps with NLO/SM and Tools/MC a bit with Higgs (e.g. VBF tagging).
  • How to define quark/gluons at fixed order? (i.e. flavored jet algorithms)
  • Tests of quark/gluon taggers? (already lots of work by ATLAS/CMS/theory)
  • Why do current parton showers give such large discrepancies in quark/gluon tagging performances?
  • Data available to tune quark/gluon taggers? (RIVETized analyses?)
  • Key future measurements to be made? (at LHC or even in archival data?)
  • Quark/gluon enriched samples? (e.g. dijet vs. gamma/W/Z + jet)
  • Can NnLO/NnLL calculations improve our understanding?
  • Impact of soft QCD (underlying event) and pileup?
