Working Groups
- SM and NLO
Multi-leg Session
I: 8-17 June 2009
This group will address the
issue of
the theoretical predictions for multileg
processes,
in particular beyond leading order, and the
possibility of implementing these calculations in Monte Carlos. This
working group aims at a cross breeding between novel approaches
(twistors, unitarity cuts,...) and improvements in standard
techniques. The precision NLO and in some instances NNLO
predictions extend also to Higgs observables.
- New Physics
Session II: 17-26
June 2009
This is a beyond the Standard
Model group covering new models of electroweak symmetry breaking and
their phenomenology. The emphasis this year will be on
alternatives to SUSY that address the
problem of symmetry
breaking, although some aspects of SUSY phenomenology will be
addressed as well. It will also address the issues of model reconstruction and
model independent searches based on topologies. Analyses of the Higgs
sector stemming from New Physics models will be covered within this
working group too.

Tools and Monte Carlo Session I &
II: 8-26 June 2009
There will also be an intergroup dedicated to Tools and Monte Carlos.
This working group will liaise with the SM and
New Physics WGs
with the task of incorporating some of the issues and new techniques
developed in these groups in view of improving Monte Carlos and setting
standards and accords
among the simulation codes to better meet the experimental needs.
Issues concerning pdf and jets will also be covered
within this WG. In session I the emphasis will be on standard model
issues in
close connection with the SM/NLO Working Group while in sessions II the
emphasis will be on the implementation of new models.
The projects are to start in Jan
2009 and should be completed by the end of the year 2009.
A more detailed plan of work and
lists of specific topics will be provided by Dec 1st 2008.
