BOOST 2015 discussion panel on future colliders and superboosted objects

Panelists

1. Phil Harris
2. Michelangelo Mangano
3. Gilad Perez
4. Marcel Vos
5. Liantao Wang

Goals

1. Generate and communicate ideas regarding the relationship of the various physics goals of future facilities to the phenomenology and experimental reality of boosted objects
2. Discuss concrete detector options and the relative merits in terms of the identification and measurement of boosted W/Z/H/top
3. Propose studies to be done at LHC13/14 that might inform and enhance the choices to be made at a future hadron collider

Topics

• Choices of calorimeter and tracker design for boosted object reconstruction, identification, and measurement
• Differences in approach between lepton and hadron colliders regarding boosted objects
• Important phenomenology and “experimental” studies still missing regarding the utility and physics impact of boosted objects for the physics case for a future collider
• Measurements at a LHC13/14 that might inform and enhance the choices to be made at a future hadron collider
• Trigger and data acquisition issues related to boosted object reconstruction
• Pile-up issues and considerations for various machine options and detailed jet substructure reconstruction techniques

Format

• Discussion topics will be coordinated among the panel members and the moderator in advance, and the panel members will be allowed to prepare a few slides to be uploaded to the agenda as supporting material for the discussion.
  • If panelists do wish to contribute material in the form of slides, they must be provided to the moderator by NOON at the latest.
  • The moderator will then be asked to collate these slides and associate them to the appropriate topics in order to efficiently move through any material provided.
• At the beginning of the session, the moderator will introduce the panelists and state the general topics on which the panel is asked to focus and the order in which we plan to move through those topics
• The panelists will then be encouraged to comment on these topics, and point to their supporting material only if necessary.
• Between each topic (to the extent that they can be separated) the discussion will then be opened up to the audience.
