Agenda of the second QCD working group meeting on 12th April 1999

The second meeting of the QCD working group will take place on the 12th of April. The morning is divided into two streams of parallel sessions (both in the basement of building 40), whereas in the afternoon a plenary session (in the TH auditorium, building 4) is foreseen.

The morning sessions should allow the sub-groups to discuss their intended projects and to give room to selected individual presentations.

Time

Start of morning sessions (Salle Anderson 40-SS-A01, building 40)

09:00 - 09:15

Welcome and organizational remarks

Time

Parallel session A (Salle Anderson 40-SS-A01, building 40)

Parallel session B (Salle Dirac 40-SS-D01, building 40)

09:30 - 11:00

vector boson production, resummation, parton distributions, heavy flavour production

P. Nason 'p_T resummations'

L. Magnea 'Threshold resummations'

M. Kraemer 'Treatment of heavy quark masses in DIS'

small x physics, diffraction and rapidity gaps, double parton scattering

V. Del Duca 'Small x: an introduction'

B. Webber 'Resummation of jet rates at small x'

D. Treleani 'Double parton scattering'

11:30 - 13:00

Monte Carlo event generators, available NLO calculations, prospects at NNLO

V. Del Duca 'NNLO: an introduction'

D. Kosover 'Status of two loop calculations'

QCD background to Higgs, experimental analysis of final states

P. Mine 'Background for W associated to H (H->4 leptons) in CMS'

J. Manjavidze 'High particle density final states'

M .Seymour 'Jet algorithms'

The lunch break (13:00 to 15:00) has been extended to allow for an informal extension of discussions before the start of the plenary meeting, which should summarize for each subgroup the topics to be addressed, the status of ongoing activities and plans for future work. At the end of this session there should also be a discussion on the May plenary meeting and the Les Houches workshop.

Time

Plenary session (TH auditorium, building 4)

15:00 - 17:30

summaries of the subgroup activities and future plans (about 10 minutes for each subgroup)
