Perturbative higher-order effects at work at the LHC - HO10

21 Jun 2010, 14:30 → 9 Jul 2010, 15:30 Europe/Zurich

TH Theory Conference Room (CERN)

The aim of this Institute is to bring together experts in higher-order computations, with a particular emphasis on perturbative QCD. Theoretical progress and development of new techniques for NLO and NNLO calculations, and their matching to parton showers, will be discussed. The practical applications of those techniques and their phenomenological implications will also be considered.
