VBSCan combination and EFT interpretation meeting

5 Mar 2019, 11:00 → 6 Mar 2019, 13:30 Europe/Zurich

40/4-C01 (CERN)

Giacomo Ortona (Universita & INFN, Milano-Bicocca (IT)), Magdalena Slawinska (Polish Academy of Sciences (PL)), Narei Lorenzo Martinez (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR)), Roberto Covarelli (University/INFN Torino (IT)), Senka Duric (Kansas State University (US))

The idea of the workshop is to review the status and tools of the current combination effort ongoing in WG2+3, as well as other similar ongoing efforts. We would like to discuss possible extensions/merging of the scope of the results, and possibly have new people involved in it. The event, organised in the frame of the VBSCan COST Action, should feature both experimental and theory talks, ample space for discussion and planning for developments. The participation will be open to theory, ATLAS and CMS members.
