Les Houches

Interested people: Vitaliano, Kenneth, Efe, Simon, Carlo, Reina Camacho, Mathieu…ADD YOUR NAME HERE…

A discussion is scheduled on Monday afternoon.

• Kenneth will discuss theory issues in dibosons ewk analyses in CMS
• Simon will discuss possible studies to be done as a Les Houches project

Aims:

• review available MC tools
• discuss QCD and EW NLO corrections
• define signal and background processes both in the signal and control regions, where VBS cuts are relaxed and interference effects become large
• …

Processes to be studied:

• pp → jj W⁺Z:

48 processes and 976 diagrams

• pp → jj W⁺W⁻:

76 processes and 1432 diagrams

So pp → jj W⁺Z will be studied first and if enough time, pp → jj W⁺W⁻ afterwards. –> pp → jj \mu⁺ \mu⁻ e⁺ \nu_e with p = u u~ d d~ c c~ s s~ with j = u u~ d d~ c c~ s s~
