-Project aim:+====== MC variation I ======
  
-- comprehensive list of all possible variations available in each generator+** Project aim: **
  
-- as comprehensive as possible ​list of correlations among these variations+The idea of the project was an introduction into what parameter variations are possible ​in General-Purpose MCs, and to help build intuition on which of these variations ​can affect which measurements.
  
-- for each MC+Minutes of the discussion on site have been posted on the slack channel. It was also suggested that the discussion can continue between ​MC developers at the upcoming MCnet meeting.
  
-* exact meaning of variation X and where it gives an impact+To get to an introduction,​ we thought to first give 
  
-what are the constraints that should not be broken+  ​as comprehensive as possible list of all possible variations available in each generator
  
-wherever this is possible, suggested ranges ​of variations+  ​list of correlations among these variations ​(as comprehensive as possible)
  
-* disclaimers and "good practice"​+  ​for each MC:  
 +  - exact interpretation of name "​variation X", and which phenomena it influences 
 +  - what are the constraints when varying parameters that should not be broken 
 +  - wherever this is possible, suggested ranges of variations 
 +  - disclaimers and "good practice"​ 
 + 
 +It would be ideal if through these lists, we can come to a somewhat common naming convention. This would significantly help in the communication between MC developers and experiments. Currently, the terms "MC uncertainties"​ or "PS uncertainties"​ are used in an unclear way, and this project would help towards removing some of this language barrier.  
 + 
 +Given a list of variations and their discussion, it would also be extremely valuable to have a 
 + 
 +  * list of examples (exact meaning of "​example"​ to be defined) that highlight the impact of a (category of) MC variations that are relevant in each case, possibly with plots.
