Hello EF Conveners, We will have our weekly EF Convener's phone call tomorrow, Thursday. Energy Frontier Conveners' meeting May 16: 11:00 PDT / 2:00 EDT Contact information: You call: domestic... (877)287-0283 international...(303)433-0165 participant code: 290-043 We will start the meeting promptly and end promptly after 1 hour. Agenda items 0. Update on plans for Seattle In particular: - Status of plenary and panel invitations - Status of invitations to CF and IF overlap people - what is it? 1. Discussion of ATLAS and CMS whitepapers and schedule 2. Status of background sample generation...Meenakshi will summarize 3. Upcoming (in an hour) discussion with overall Snowmass conveners. 4. AOB? 5. A couple more questions from CF conveners: • HE5. What kind of slop is present when we tune tools such as Pythia to handle non-perturbative QCD at colliders? Do current uncertainty estimations really do justice or are there systematic effects in the modeling/choice of tool that could be larger? Is it possible we are tuning away subtle interesting and novel effects from new physics? How can we be sure? • HE6. What is the reasonable target for flavor and CP violation, given no hints for any BSM effects in this direction? Thank you, Chip and Michael --------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond Brock * University Distinguished Professor Department of Physics and Astronomy Michigan State University Biomedical Physical Sciences 567 WIlson Road, Room 3210 East Lansing, MI 48824 sent from: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> cell: (517)927-5447 MSU office: (517)353-1693/884-5579 open fax: (517)355-6661 secure fax: (517)351-0688 Fermilab office: (630)840-2286 CERN Office: 32 2-B03 * 76-71756 Twitter: @chipbrock Home: http://www.pa.msu.edu/~brock/ ISP220: http://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/ISP220/ ISP213H: http://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/2007spring/ISP213H/ Facebook: http://msu.facebook.com/profile.php?id=2312233 ######################################################################## 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
