Working Groups
  •  SM: EW, QCD and Higgs
  • New Physics
  • The Workshop is structured around two Working Groups with, in many cases, a strong interplay between these groups.

    In addition, Monte Carlo issues met commonly by the Working Groups may trigger a dedicated activity within a  `task force'.

    Contrary to the previous sessions, it has been decided to organise the Workshop activities within two working groups (WG), rather than the usual 3.


    The SM WG
    will cover calculations and implementations of cross sections both for QCD, EW as well as Higgs processes. Indeed, we feel that this aspect of Higgs physics is  best
    dealt with by experts in loop/multi-leg calculations with close connection to Monte-Carlo (MC) techniques and simulations. This session should pay a particular attention to the very first few year  of running of the LHC making sure that the most important SM processes are well under control. The impact and the exploitation of the Tevatron experience is also a central topic.

    The BSM WG.
    One of the task of the WG will be to address in more detail new approaches related to symmetry breaking, beyond the usual SUSY/MSSM paradigm, although the latter should still be pursued. At the same time, and this is the reason of merging BSM+Higgs, one should try to review  the new Higgs(/Golstone) phenomenology of these models together with the  phenomenology of the other new particles these models predict. When possible a connection with dark matter will be made.  An important aspect, especially after the LC technology choice,  is a critical review of the LHC/LC connection.
