FeynRules 2010 Workshop on automatization for BSM physics

The aim of the workshop is to bring together few people to progress on topics related to automatization for BSM physics, important in this LHC era. The three following working groups will be formed.

1. Development of new quantum field theory functionalities in automatized codes.
   * Topic 1: Progress on spin 2, development on spin 3/2 and superfields.
   * Topic 2: Mass matrices diagonalization.
   * Topic 3: Higher-dimensional operators (a general approach).
   * Topic 4: Loops: automated generation of QCD/SUSY/EW counterterms, special Lagrangians for the rational parts.
   
2. Interface development.
   * Topic 1: Spin two in MadGraph and CalcHep.
   * Topic 2: Higher dimensional operators in FeynArts.
   * Topic 3: Helas routines generation from FeynRules.
   * Topic 4: Herwig interface.
   
* Topic 5: Complex parameters in CalcHep.

3. Model implementation, validation and diffusion.
   * Topic 1: Structure of the FeynRules web-based database.
   * Topic 2: New model implementation and survey of the missing models.
   * Topic 3: Application of the Les Houches validation scheme.
   

The format of the workshop will be based on (informal) meetings in the morning, and working groups related to the different topics in the afternoon. The aim of the workshop will be to gather several experts in these fields in order to progress on the topics. There will also be a lot of possibilities of hiking in the mountains. A paper/proceeding summarizing the results will be written after the workshop.

The participation fee covers lodging (single room) and meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). It amounts to 460 euros for the whole workshop period. This fee will have to be paid at arrival. Credit cards are accepted.

Car pooling from Strasbourg to the workshop place will be organized.
