The motivation is that people in Snowmass-Young seem to need to be invited to do work for Snowmass, with closed-end and projects doable in the Snowmass time frame. Please make a list of 5-8 such projects in your area that need work and sent them to me. The sooner, the better. I think this will be a good way to elicit help. For Electroweak Measurements group, one thing we would like to do is compute the various diboson and triboson and VBS signatures (in different decay channels) together with associated backgrounds using a fixed configuration of a generator like Madgraph. We could set up a standard configuration of the code on a web page that someone could download and run. It would be both educational and useful for a young person. Ashutosh > 3.

We can publicize this list of questions in the materials for the KITP meeting. This request is not as urgent, but I would appreciate receiving your response. Personally I have always wondered if the MSSM parameter space could be reduced to a "decoupling limit" where only one or two parameters can be tuned to make the model almost "natural". Then we could use precision measurements to constrain these one or two parameters. In this way, precision measurements could be recast as constraints on a limited parameter space, providing a crisp story analogous to the "SM Higgs boson mass constraint" regards, Ashutosh > Thank you! > > Michael ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the SNOWMASS-EF list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SNOWMASS-EF&A=1
