Northwest Terascale Research Projects

Modeling the underlying event and minimum bias events

University of Oregon

7 - 11 March 2011

The Northwest Terascale projects is a series of small informal workshops being jointly hosted by the particle theory and experimental groups at the Universities of Washington and Oregon. These are intended to be working meetings for interested experts, with a minimal number of formal talks, and most of the time spent on discussion and collaborative work towards improving the prospects for physics discoveries at the LHC.

Previous workshops in this series have been

• The terascale at LHC 0.5 and Tevatron (UW, 7-11 June 2010)
• Jets and jet substructure at the LHC (UW, 11-15 January 2010)
• W + b quark physics at the LHC (UO, 14 - 16 September 2009)
• Unusual dark matter: theory, experiment, and the LHC (UO, 6 - 10 July 2009)
• Signatures of long-lived exotic particles at the LHC (UW, 4 - 8 May)
• Parton showers and event structure (UO, 23 - 27 February 2009)
• Determining the properties of the Higgs at the LHC (UW, 12 - 16 January, 2009)

This meeting has been organized by Steve Ellis of UW and Dave Soper of UO. This workshop a followup to the Northwest Terascale workshop Parton Showers and Event Structure (UO, 23 - 27 February 2009) and is also inspired by the Workshop on Multiparton Interactions at the LHC held at DESY from 13 to 15 September 2010.
