MadGraph5_aMC@NLO Femto Workshop

Friday 27 Mar 2015, 09:00 → 17:15 Asia/Tokyo

Lecture Hall (Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo)

The aim of this 1-day workshop is to learn about the status of the framework of Monte Carlo event simulations, especially the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO generator, and discuss future directions of development based on the feedback of the many people at IPMU that week. In the morning we will have review talks by the main developers and the afternoon will be dedicated to presentations and discussions of selected physics studies.
Especially we encourage young people apply for a talk to present physics results done by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO related tools. (The deadline of the abstract submission is Jan/31, 2015.)
The workshop is organized just after the KAERU Conference at Kavli IPMU on Mar/25-26.  Registration fee is free, but we require the participants to register via this indico page. There will be no support for travel fees.
For contact, please send E-mail to kentarou.mawatari _at_ vub.ac.be.
