Dear Colleagues, The video conference will be held between noon and 3 PM US Eastern time. Connection details will be circulated. We plan to have a presentation on the DELPHES fast detector simulation, and a presentation on a homebrew fast simulation setup. A presentation from someone using PGS would also be useful. If you are using PGS and would like to share some information about it, please contact us. Secondly, it would be very useful to have a discussion on an event generator in which one can set anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings. The corresponding technology for generating events after setting anomalous trilinear gauge couplings has been around and used heavily for a long time. However, it is unclear whether a general purpose framework for aQGC has been incorporated into a generator that everyone can use as a "standard" for sensitivity studies. A program called WHIZARD does exist. If you are knowledgeable about aQGC and would like to lead a discussion on it, please let us know. We believe that having such a "standard" program is going to be important for us. thanks, Doreen, Michael and Ashutosh On Tue, 27 Nov 2012, Ashutosh Kotwal wrote: > Dear Colleagues, > The video conference will be on December 12.
