minutes of the Energy Frontier conveners' meeting June 13
attending: Chip, Michael, Heather, Tom LeC., Rick van K. , Sally, Ashutosh, Reinhardt,
Kaustubh, Meenakshi, Soeren, LianTao, Ken H., Robin, Markus
1. We discussed the schedule for the Seattle meeting. Chip and I would appreciate
it very much if everyone would answer the following questions:
1. What are the titles of your sessions? In particular, which sessions have
overlap with other working groups, or are expected to draw a large
number of participants. We will try to schedule these sessions so that
they do not conflict.
2. Do you plan to schedule a session in parallel with the Cosmic and Intensity
Frontier talks on Monday afternoon?
Thanks to the Top group for already sending this information.
Michael did send to Gordon Watts the list of your emails. Hopefully, you will
soon receive permission to edit the agenda.
2. We discussed the "Discovery Stories"
The Top group wrote up 3 of these stories which they circulated by email and
discussed at the meeting. Electroweak will suggest a story in which
an anomaly in VV scattering visible at 300 fb-1 triggers a set of
experiments to determine the quantum numbers of a new resonance.
Chip and Michael would like to see such stories from the other groups.
Chip and Michael ask that you allot about 1/2 hour per group in Seattle to
present your stories.
We discussed the role of the stories. These do not replace hard-nosed estimates
of reach and exclusion possibilities. Rather, they are intended to illustrate
the discover potential of experiments in the next 10 years and the experimental
capabilities we will need to follow up these discoveries. The illustration
does not need to be comprehensive. However, it should make clear that there
is a lot of opportunity for discovery at the Energy Frontier.
3. We briefly revisited the list of arguments from 3000 fb-1 at LHC that we discussed
last week. Chip and Michael believe that this case is stronger than most
people think, and that enunciating this can be a major contribution of the EF
study. Please think about this as you prepare your conclusions for Seattle.
4. Michael suggested that, next week, we should talk about the case for colliders
of energy well above that of LHC.
Thanks to all !
