QCD@LHC 2018

27th - 31st August 2018, Dresden, Germany

Thanks to all participants for joining us for QCD@LHC 2018 in Dresden. We hope you had safe travels home and are looking forward to QCD@LHC 2019 in Buffalo from July 15-19 (note the changed date!).

Best,
Dominik and Frank

Welcome to the 9th edition of the international QCD@LHC workshop, which aims at fostering discussions and collaboration between experimenters and theorists, working on strong interactions at the LHC.

• Latest results from the LHC on Soft and Hard QCD 
• Theory of Jets
• Parton Density Functions
• Higher Order Calculations
• Event Simulations
• Resummation
• Top Physics
• Higgs Physics
• QCD for BSM studies

• Jet substructure and H/V/top-tagging
  (Simone Marzani & Danilo Enoque Ferreira De Lima)
• Inclusive and dijet production at the LHC
  (Joao Pires & Bogdan Malaescu)
• QCD background processes in BSM searches
  (Jonas Lindert & Paolo Gunnellini)
• Pileup modelling and mitigation at the LHC
  (Matteo Cacciari & Satoshi Hasegawa)
• Determination of the strong coupling constant
  (Klaus Rabbertz)
• Multiloop and multileg developments
  (Stephen Jones)
