Confronting Theory with Experiment: Puzzles, Challenges and Opportunities in the LHC Era
Thursday and Friday,
17-18 November, 2011
Fermilab
Hosted by: The CTEQ Collaboration, the LHC Physics Centers @ CERN, DESY, & FERMILAB & the ATLAS Physics Analysis Center @ ANL
There will be a variety of topics discussed at the meeting including:
- Monte Carlo tuning and matching
- NLO Monte Carlos
- NLO and NNLO predictions
- PDFs
- photons and jets
- Higgs production
- quarkonium production
The meeting is designed to promote an informal, loosely structured, working atmosphere between experimentalists and phenomenologists, who are actively confronting precision predictions and comparisons with LHC data. The workshop will be structured with a minimum of talks, so as to maximize the discussion.
