IOP Half-day Meeting on "Proton Structure at the LHC"

Europe/London
HEP seminar room, Cavendish laboratory

HEP seminar room, Cavendish laboratory

Cambridge, UK
Description
The purpose of the meeting is to engage the wider UK (LHC) experimental community with the UK's "pdf experts" to identify topics of mutual interest, in particular: (i) the importance of a detailed knowledge of pdfs for precision SM and BSM LHC predictions and measurements, and (ii) what can we learn about pdfs from LHC measurements, and (iii) how can the UK community best contribute to these topics. The programme will be a mix of talks and time for discussion. We hope that non-experts will attend, and become interested in working on this topic. Please email James Stirling (wjs2@cam.ac.uk) to register, and indicate if you would like lunch (served from 1pm).
