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
- 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)
- Automated 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)
- Review of physics requirements
- Acceptance, resolution, trigger and reconstruction efficiency
- Granularity
- Magnetic field
- Review of publicly available tools
- PGS
- Delphes
- AcerDet
- ...?
- Review of Software Requirements (integration into tool chain)
- Standardized input from generators (HepMC?)
- Standardized output to Rivet and/or user code (TBD?)
- Comparison/Validation against internal detector simulations
- ATLAS (Atflast)
- CMS (?)
- Tevatron, HERA, LEP...?
- Default LHC detector parametrisations?
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.
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
