Illuminating standard candles at the LHC - V+jets

25 Apr 2017, 10:00 → 26 Apr 2017, 14:00 Europe/London

Blackett building, room 539 (Imperial College London)

Sarah Malik (Imperial College (GB)), Bjoern Penning (University of Bristol (GB)), Jonas Lindert

This informal, brainstorming workshop held in conjunction with the IPPP (Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology at Durham) will focus on the Standard Model measurements of vector boson + jets processes that we can perform in Run 2 of the LHC to enhance our understanding of the high transverse momentum phase space and constrain higher order QCD and electroweak corrections.
