-  * **[[2013:​groups:​tools:​LHEF|Update of LHE file format]]**; more information also **[[2013:​groups:​tools_lheextension| here]]**+  * ** Update of the LHE file format** The LHE file format has been around since 2006 and at the workshop 2009 there was a proposal for an updated version 2 of the format. Before this meeting additional suggestens were mad, mainly related to the handling of weights ​[[2013:​groups:​tools:​LHEF|here]] and [[2013:​groups:​tools_lheextension| here]]. After discussion there is now the following [[2013:​groups:​tools:​LHEF3|suggested LHEF update]].

 +Following the kick-off meeting on Thurs 13th we agreed the following list of activities
 +  * analysis and reinterpretation
 +  * **[[2013:​groups:​tools:​slha|Extending the SLHA ]]** (cross sections)
 +  * **[[2013:​groups:​tools:​DLHA|DLHA]]**

 +  * Low energy and flavour observables ​   ​
 +  * discussion on SM backgrounds and MC validation
 +
 +Other suggestions did not seem to have enough critical mass.
 +We are happy to schedule additional tutorials if enough people using the programs want them, otherwise users and the authors can discuss in private.
