A link to a list of issues and topics set for Snowmass, brought to us by the LH-Snowmass coordinator pdf file
There will be a 1-day mini-workshop at Fermilab on Jan. 31 dealing with some of the QCD issues relevant for the LHC and beyond. In particular, this meeting will concentrate on:
(1) the use of LHC data in PDF fits (present and future) (2) the need for precision PDFs at the LHC and beyond; the role of an eLHC (3) scale determination in complex processes (4) scale uncertainties in the presence of jet vetoes/binning (5) progress at NNLO
This meeting is intended to be useful for both the Snowmass and Les Houches workshop preparations, as well as for current LHC analyses. A vidyo connection will be available. The agenda will be developed on https://indico.cern.ch/collaborationDisplay.py?confId=226756 .
