 +3nd meeting: Tuesday June 9 at 11AM in Auditorium
 +
 +  * Ciaran Williams: Extension of sigma vs. epsilon plots for smooth vs. fixed cones to smaller epsilon values
 +  * Preliminary Draft of work plan for the proceedings and discussion:
 +
 + 
 +A) Smooth vs. Exp'l Isolation Cone Comparison
 +   
 +1) Study additional processes similar to what was done by L. Cieri and D. de Florian for inclusive diphotons in LH2013, see if also obtain agreement within O(1)% for generalisation of LH Photon Isolation Accord."​one could define the isolation to be tight enough when the contribution from the fragmentation component does not exceeds ~15−20% of the total cross section"​ true for all processes?:
 +
 +--Wgamma (and maybe later Zgamma) with POWHEG+MinLO: ​ Total cross-section vs Etmax and vs epsilon, and differential in Et_gamma, M_lnu(ll)gamma for 1-2 choices [e.g. epsilon=0.05,​ cone size](Mauro C. and Fulvio)
 +
 +--Gamma + jet JETPHOX: Total cross-section vs Etmax and vs epsilon, and differential in Et_gamma for 1-2 choices[e.g. epsilon=0.05,​ cone size 0.2, 0.4, 0.7? ] (Gudrun H...)
 +
 +--triphoton (and maybe later quadriphoton) production with MCFM: Total cross-section vs Etmax and vs epsilon, and differential in some variables (Et_gamma 1(2)(3)(4)...)Extend range of epsilon in sigma vs. epsilon plots down to epsilon=0.05 and add scale variations(Ciaran)
 +   
 +2) Is unphysical behaviour under '​mismatch'​ of direct and frag component orders (as reported in LH2013 by Cieri and deFlorian) for gamma gamma, gamma gamma + jet and W/Zgamma also generalized to other processes?
 +
 +--Gamma + jet with JETPHOX shown June 6 (Gudrun)[yes] (Is it possible to have 'LO fragmention function-LO matrix element'​ to check?)
 +
 +--LO fragmentation function possible in time horizon for proceedings (Jean-Philippe,​ Michel F.)?
 +
 +
 +B) Fragmentation: ​ How important is the '​transverse'​ (or non-collinear) vs. '​longitudinal'​ (or collinear) fragmentation?​
 +FO calculators (e.g. PHOX family, MCFM, GoSam, ...) only have longitudinal,​ HO codes with PS (e.g. POWHEG with MiNLO) have both.  While waiting for gamma gamma in POWHEG with MiNLO (probably not for proceedings),​ use Vgamma (and maybe later Zgamma), MCFM vs. POWHEG + MiNLO, as 'test bench' to evaluate difference in integrated xs, differential observables and comparison with CMS/ATLAS data (Mauro/​Fulvio,​ Ciaran et al, all) 
 +
 +    ​
 +C) Experimental Survey (experimentalists):​
 +  ​
 +1) size and character of cones used/​planned for use in CMS + ATLAS (size, hollow/​solid,​ Fixed or normalized (epsilon or fixed value)), disc. Frixione?)
  
 +2)Survey of direct photon measurements esp Vgamma ​
  
 +  * Discussion of what to include in a few slides for the summary session tomorrow
