FeynRules 2012 workshop: towards NLO

25 mars 2012, 16:00 → 30 mars 2012, 14:30 Europe/Paris

Universe

Benjamin Fuks (IPHC Strasbourg)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together few people to progress on topics related to automization for BSM physics, important in this LHC era, with focus on the next-to-leading order tools. The five following working groups will be formed.

1. FR-UFO-ALOHA: Extensions and developments.
2. Automated NLO: derivation of counterterms and R2 terms.
3. Supersymmetric RGE: automated derivation of RGE's and interfacing to spectrum generators.
4. New tools: automated computation of decay widths, derivation of Wilson coefficients and analysis tools.
5. Automatic generation of FeynRules models.

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.
The participation fee of 553.50 euros covers lodging (single room) and meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
Car pooling from Strasbourg to the workshop place will be organized.
