US ATLAS Hadronic Final State Forum: Joint Theory/Experiment Open Session

Monday 23 Aug 2010, 09:00 → 19:00 US/Pacific

Kavli Auditorium (SLAC)

Ariel Schwartzman (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory), Peter Loch (University of Arizona)

This is the opening session of the annual US ATLAS Hadronic Final State Forum meeting at SLAC. The session features summary talks on recent experimental results from ATLAS and CMS in the morning, as well as selected topical talks from both experiments with strong ties to jet and missing transverse energy reconstruction. In the afternoon we have overview talks from theory concerning expectations for new physics from LHC and modern jet findings, in addition to selected topical talks on jet and missing transverse energy final states, e.g. in jet final states.

09:00 → 10:10 Review of experimental results from LHC

The general theme of this session is to provide summaries of public results available from ATLAS and CMS with an emphasis on the performance of the hadronic final state (jets, taus, missing transverse energy) reconstruction performnace and first physics results involving these objects.
