Working Groups
- SM and NLO
Multi-leg Session
I: 30 May-8 June 2011
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 development in the physics of jets will also covered.
- New Physics
Session II: 8-17
June 2011
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. It will also address the issues of model reconstruction and model independent searches based on topologies. The connection with Dark Matter and the impact from astrophysics and cosmology will be addressed especially that we expect new data in this field.

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.
As
usual within the Les Houches PhysTeV series, we expect a strong
interplay and collaboration between these different groups and
their subgroups. This is especially true in 2011 where a more active
and close collaboartion between the SM and New Physics working group
will take place in view of the new data from the LHC. We therefore expect some model
builders to attend session I and some SM experts to attend session II.
The projects are to start in January
2011 and should be completed by the end
of the year 2011

A more detailed plan of work and
lists of specific topics together with the conveners in charge will be
provided by Dec 1st 2010. By then a wikipage for the 2011 session will
also be set up.
