Short presentations (one or two transparencies) by people working on jet energy scale and resolutions, stating what needs to be done to finish each particular nominal correction and determine the errors. Discussion and work plan. Reports should include all jet energy scale group plus J.Blazey on resolutions and I.Bertram on status of MC generation. Monday 11:30-12:00 Progress Report Tuesday 11:30-12:00 Progress Report Tuesday 5:00-6:00 Progress Report Wednesday 9:00-10:30 Decisions on corrections, errors, documentation and release. *** Inclusive Jets Theory Discussions at the D0 QCD Workshop. *** Convener: Iain Bertram *** Room L1 Monday 9:00am - 12:00am Introduction: Iain Bertram What measurements are we making? What are the theoretical questions that apply tothese measurements? Theorists Invited: W.K Tung, D. Soper, B. Webber, W. Giele Possible Discussion Topics: What theory(ies) should we be comparing with the data. :- Jetrad, EKS, Herwig? :- For what kinematic regions are thesetheories valid? :- At what scale should we be making thesecomparisons? :- Where should we be making the comparison? How should we be presenting these results? :- Clustering questions etc. PDF's: :- What goes into the pdf's? :- What are the uncertainties associated with the different kinematic regions we are looking at? :- What measurements would help with restricting the range of pdf's Tuesday December 17, 1996 2:00pm - 3:15pm Further Discussion: This session will be available to discuss theoretical issues raised at the workshop (during the plenary session or in private discussions). Possible Topics: :- NNLO calculations :- Resummation effects in Inclusive Cross Sections? :- What is an underlying Event? :- How well do shower Monte Carlo's model the UL event. :- Theorists wish list.... *** Future Physics *** Convener: Ransom Stephens *** Room S7 Sunday December 15, 1996 3:45pm - 4:45pm (S7) Future QCD Topics Format: Topics introduced by speakers listed below followed by discussion of workshop goals on those topics.
