(Click here for Tools and Monte Carlo Session 1 (SM))
Existing Codes and Implementations
- Are all interesting models currently implemented?
- non-minimal models like hidden valley or quirks?
- need for modified shower or fragmentation models?
- Update the Durham / Les Houches BSM Tools repository: Les Houches BSM Tools Repository
Framework for new model implementations
- Status of QNUMBERS approach: arXiv:0712.3311
- Implementation of arbitrary models as an evolution of the BSM-LHEF
- Feynman rule packages: LanHEP, FeynRules arXiv:0906.2474
- spectrum calculators
- (matrix element) generator interfaces
- interfaces to parton showers and hadronisation models
- generator validation strategies
- incorporation into validated generator versions used by experiments
SM for BSM (with Session 1)
- ME+PS matching for BSM processes
- Boosted hadronic decays of BSM particles and decay products
- BSM applications of New Jet Algorithms
- Impact of MC tuning / uncertainty evaluations, on New Physics searches and measurements?
Detector simulation (with Session 1)
See Fast Detector Simulation Specification and Usage.
Flavour Les Houches Accord
- With Tools WG of Flavor/LHC workshops. Model independent parametrization of flavor related quantities such as Wilson coefficients, exp. results, etc. Modify existing SLHA "structure" to host this accord? S. Heinemeyer, N. Mahmoudi.
More info: Flavor Les Houches Accord.
Common non-susy BSM scenario and benchmark points
- Define & generate some benchmark common data sets?
- Discussion (accord?) on how experiments and theory might best interact on new model testing
Training
- Possible training sessions on how to go from a model to event generation with new tools
- Feynman rules: FeynRules, LanHep
- spectrum calculators
- MC generators: Herwig, Pythia, Sherpa, Whizard, MadGraph ...
- detector simulation: Delphes
Work Topics identified during MC introductory session on June 18th, 2pm:
- BSM implementations in MC:
- hidden valley quirk : Jay, Frank, Steffen, Paddy, Peter, Matt, see HV showers and HV hadronization
- overlapping resonances : Aldo, Jurgen, Peter, Claire
- strong interaction, EW sector: Steffen
- input from lattice to MC: Del Debbio
- dirac gaugino masses
- Training: FeynRules (+ Madgraph) /Delphes/Sherpa (all 20+) / Whizard (10+)
- Discussion on validation procedures for new physics generators
- Flavour LHA: Nazila, Jurgen, Pietro, Genevieve, Fawzi, Sabine
- Discussion on non-susy BSM scenarios/ benchmark points
- PDF errors propagating through MC: Del Debbio, Frank, Fawzi, Ashiba, James, Steffen, Tania
For all the topics above, dedicated meeting will be organized. Timeslots will be announced soon.
