Tue, October 21

9:00 AM → 9:20 AM Tevatron experience. Physics modeling choices

- focus on experience, successes and limitations of the MC tools used (Resbos, PHOTOS, ...) - any other relevant aspects in this context

Speaker: Jan Stark (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR))

Slides Stark_TevatronExperience.pdf

9:30 AM → 9:50 AM PDF uncertainty estimates

- give the basic setting (starting points for the two experiments) - discuss a basic procedure for systematics - ATLAS PDF ongoing studies - what can be done to lower the systematics (i.e. new NNPDF set, measuremnt with 7,8,13 TeV) - LHC data used to constrain the uncertainties, and how

Speaker: Stefano Camarda (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

Slides wmass_20_10_2014.pdf

10:00 AM → 10:20 AM Momentum calibration and recoil: experimental systematics (ATLAS/CMS)

This talk is on the muon momentum calibration, EM calibration and MET. Not on the methods but more on general problematics. - general differences between experiments Tevatron vs LHC (ATLAS vs CMS) - theoretical uncertainties on the Z lineshape-- i.e. FSR effect on lepton calibration - how port the calibrations from the Z to the W

Speaker: Mariarosaria D'Alfonso (CERN)

Slides dalfonso_WM_florence_21october.pdf discussion.pdf

10:30 AM → 11:00 AM Coffee break

11:00 AM → 11:20 AM Vector boson transverse momentum distributions

- give the basic setting ( powheg, RESBOS, tune: starting points for the experiments) - is the same between experiments ? - discuss a basic procedure for systematics - LHC data used to constrain the uncertainties, and how

Speaker: Luca Perrozzi (Eidgenoessische Tech. Hochschule Zuerich (CH))

Slides Vector_boson_transverse_momentum_distributions_and_W_mass.pdf

11:30 AM → 11:50 AM Physics modeling : distributions to be published beyond Mw (discussion)

- other theoretical aspects not covered before (polarization, ...) - what we need to have to disentangle any discrepancies (i.e. on the theoretical syst between experiments) - what we need to publish to allow the theorists to help us to study how to lower the theoretical syst uncertainties - usefulness of other distributions (lepton Pt, boson pt)

Speaker: (TBC) Maarten Boonekamp (CEA/IRFU,Centre d'etude de Saclay Gif-sur-Yvette (FR))
