The Terascale alliance Monte Carlo school (April 13-17) at DESY Hamburg is designed for master/PhD students and young postdocs.
The tentative programme comprises lectures and a tutorial:
Lectures:
- Introduction (QCD, collinear splitting, general parton shower, MC techniques, hadronisation, underlying events,...)
- Resummation
- Theory uncertainties
- NLO and higher-order calculations
- Parton shower matching at NLO
- Transverse momentum dependence and pt distribution of high mass systems
During the hands-on tutorial you will learn how Monte Carlo methods can be applied and write a small program to evolve a parton density (forward evolution) using Sudakov form factors to finally obtain the pt-spectrum of Higgs boson.
Registration fee: 50 Euro (this includes all nutrition costs for coffee and cookies and the school dinner on one of the evenings. The fee is to be paid in cash during the registration).
Organizing Committee:
H. Jung, J. Katzy, I. Melzer-Pellmann, Z. Nagy, J. Reuter
