Ringberg 2024: 2nd Workshop on Tools for High Precision LHC Simulations

8 May 2024, 08:00 → 11 May 2024, 15:30 Europe/Berlin

Castle Ringberg

Organisers: Stefan Dittmaier, Rhorry Gauld, Fabio Maltoni, Pier Monni, Marius Wiesemann & Giulia Zanderighi

We are organizing a smaller workshop with ~45 participants in 2024 (08.05-11.05) at Ringberg Castle next to the Tegernsee (close to Munich). The topics will be closely related to precision physics for the LHC with particular emphasis on improving various aspects of Monte Carlo simulations and the matching to fixed order calculations (including e.g. the combination of QCD and EW corrections in matched partons showers, the inclusion of SMEFT effects in Monte Carlo simulations, PDFs, etc.).
