Description

This meeting is dedicated to physics modeling issues in the Wmass measurement at the LHC, and follows up on

- the initial meeting held in Firenze: https://indico.cern.ch/event/340393/

- the second meeting held at CERN: http://indico.cern.ch/event/367442/

We intend to discuss the following items:

  • generator developments (higher-order corrections; polarization; reweighting...)
  • developments in perturbative QCD and resummation
  • PDF fits and uncertainties
  • reports and questions from the experiments
