-a) An update on this is in the make.  + An update on this is in the make, see [[2013:​groups:​sm:​blha|the BLHA page]]
- +
-The details are in the new version of the draft: +
- +
-[[http://​phystev.in2p3.fr/​wiki/​_media/​2013:​groups:​sm:​blhaupdate2013.pdf|Pdf file]] of the updated write-up +
- +
-Summary of the main points agreed on in the meeting of June 5:  +
- +
-=== Passing Parameters:​=== +
- +
-function: OLP_SetParameter(char*,​ &​double,&​double,​ int) +
- +
-The keywords for the particle masses and widths are defined by their PDG codes, +
-names for couplings are defined in the write-up, e.g. for the top mass, width, sin^2\theta_w:​ +
-mass(6), ​  +
-width(6), +
-sw2 +
- +
-Note that these parameters can be complex (two doubles as function arguments). +
- +
-Global settings like  +
-MassiveParticles,​ +
-(In)ActiveParticles +
- +
-should also be possible. +
- +
-===Treatment of unstable phase space points:​=== +
- +
-no changes with respect to the last version of the draft +
- +
-===different powers of coupling constants:​=== +
- +
-allow different settings for different subprocesses +
- +
-example: ​  +
-AlphasOrder 2  (global setting) +
- +
-process x AlphasOrder 3 ; AlphaOrder 1 (use these orders in alpha_s, alpha only for process x) +
- +
-process y AlphasOrder 4 ; AlphaOrder 0 +
- +
-This setup can be used for merged samples as well as mixed QCD/EW corrections. +
-It can also be used to pass additional information referring only to particular subprocesses,​ e.g. +
- +
-process x AlphasOrder 3 ; AlphaOrder 1 ; AmplitudeType LoopInduced +
- +
-===EW corrections:​=== +
- +
-no changes wrt the last version of the draft.  +
-Importance to keep the EW Scheme option "​UserDefined"​ was stressed. +
- +
-===Polarisation/​Colour:​=== +
- +
-Conventions for polarisation vectors already have been fixed at the last meeting. +
-For special options concerning colour  +
-(terms in 1/N expansion, not colour summed, etc) it was felt that this should be  +
-"​hardwired"​ between the particular OLP/MC providers to follow the individual needs. +
- +
-===Restrictions such as diagram filters, exploitation of special symmetries, etc:=== +
- +
-Also rather something where the particular OLP/MC providers (humans) should talk to each other. +
- +
-  +
- +
-Test cases to try out implementation of the new settings: +
- +
-=== Z+1/Z+2 jets; dijet/3jets === +
- +
- +
-Test cases will be discussed on Monday June 10, 15h00, Library. +
- +
-  +
- +
- +
-b) Implementation of corrections (in particular EW) in Monte Carlo programs (e.g. Sherpa)+

 +==== Plans for the upcoming Les Houches Report ====
 +
 +=== EW corrections - theoretical guidelines and experimental issues ===
 +== Theoretical guidelines: ==
 +  * EW input parameter schemes \\ which to use in which process / for which corrections,​ etc.
 +  * Photon radiation \\ their role in NC/CC processes, general features, collinear non-safety versus KLN inclusiveness,​ etc.
 +  * Photon-induced processes \\ their size in various processes, how to fix the photon PDF, EW factorization scheme, etc.
 +  * EW Sudakov logs \\ quality of a leading-log approximation for NLO EW corrections,​ real W/Z emission, two-loops and beyond, etc.
 +  * more?
 +
 +== Experimental issues: ==
 +  * ...
