Here is the outline for the QCD Snowmass white paper discussed at the Brookhaven meeting. If you are interested in participating
in the studies/writeup, please let us know (as some of you already have). We will start a weekly vidyo meeting next Thursday May 9
at 11 AM EDT (5 PM CERN). Details will be forthcoming.
regards,Frank, Joey, John, Ken
(1) PDF's
(a) current knowledge and uncertainties
(b) likely improvements from LHC data, particularly precision Drell-Yan measurements
(c)PDF luminosities and uncertainties for 14, 33 and 100 TeV
(d) improvements from an LHeC (including alpha_s)
(2) Cross sections at 14, 33 and 100 TeV
(a)MCFM LO, NLO
-what cross sections to choose?
-what differential distributions to show?
-scale, PDF and alpha_s uncertainties?
-comparisons to BFKL predictions a la HEJ
(b)NLO, NNLO and beyond
-NLO extrapolation to higher parton multiplicities without doing the calculation, a la recent B+S paper
-improvements in NLO+PS, a la CKKW->comparisons
-Higgs(+jets) cross sections as function of energy
-importance of BFKL logs as a function of energy
Šperturbative series convergence for boosted final states
(3) Higgs+jets uncertainties
(a)resummation of jet veto logs->pointing to a new scheme for Higgs+jets uncertainties?
(b)importance of jet veto logs as a function of energy
(4) NLO QCD+NLO EW
(a)wishlist? putting current calculations together in one framework
(b)impact of the 'Sudakov zone' as a function of energy
(c)photon PDFs; importance of gamma-gamma processes as a function of energy
