            <description>HEPDATA wishlist

HEPDATA is seen as crucial for long-term data curation, and for ease of access, for example for Rivet.

Several desirable extensions were discussed, some of which are essential.

Data types

There is a need to end the assumption that all data are in the form of histograms (with x/y axes). Non-histogram data which needs to be stored include:</description>

GenRun

There is a need to store the names and version numbers of all generators used in producing an event. Propose to define a GenRun object to contain cross section (GenCrossSection) and other run-level quantities discussed below. Each GenEvent should link to the GenRun.</description>

            <description>Update of LHE file format

We intend to have a discussion on extensions of the Les Houches event file format, gearing towards an update which merges proposed and de facto in use extensions of the standard in a coherent way.

            <description>Les Houches Event File format version [2013]

Background

The LHE file format has been around since 2006 and has been very successful. At the Les Houches workshop in 2009 an update was suggested, mainly to improve the handling of NLO and matching/merging. The proposal was published in the proceedings (</description>

            <description>NLO matching schemes and uncertainties

Discussion in particular about the definition of the SCALUP parameter in POWHEG-BOX, and how to interpret it for shower matching.

Appropriate treatment now agreed between POWHEG and Py8 authors: can start running a test version ~now?$\alpha_s$$M_Z$$\mu_R = k p_T$$\alpha_s$$k \sim 0.4$$A_2$$k = 1$$\times 2$$\mu_R$$k = \{ 0.2, 0.4, 1.0, 2.0 \}$$\mu_F$$\alpha_s(M_Z)$$\alpha_s(M_Z)$$\alpha_s(M_Z)$</description>

            <description>Extending the SLHA: cross section information

Interested people (please add your name)

Benjamin, Peter, Sezen, Filip, Ben, Pietro, Werner, Alex A., Nazila, Wolfgang

The plans is to add new blocks to a supersymmetric spectrum with information on production cross section of particles included in the spectrum of interest. We propose to add one new block for each process under consideration.</description>

            <description>Tools and Monte Carlos: Jet Substructure

Jet substructure analysis is an important tool for extractions of the significant signal in jets and the reconstruction of characteristic jet mass and shape variables, and the e.g. internal flow inside jets, for e.g. searches. This project tries to evaluate various substructure techniques and configurations with respect to their effectiveness in the suppression of pile-up for given observables, and the enhancement of signal-to-background ratios.$ \sqrt{s…</description>
