Snowmass 2001
Tentative Schedule
Working Group on QCD and Strong Interactions
FIRST WEEK (July 1-7)
Monday July 2, afternoon
The first session, July 2 afternoon,
will consist of a working group
plenary session, followed by subgroup meetings.
- 1a. Experimental Review (Flaugher,Kinney)
- 1b. Theory review (Mackenzie,Sterman)
- 2c. A-E Parallel (Get (re)acquainted)
The next four sessions of the first week will consist
of two days, during which in which each subgroup meets twice,
in addition to
two prearranged joint sessions, with discussions of
pre-arranged questions of mutual interest. examples
of which are shown below. We antitipate that the
subsessions ``a-c" on each of these days will be approximately
one hour each. We have no scheduled session on July 4.
Tuesday July 3, afternoon
- 2b. A and B combined: PDF Uncertanties and Search for New Stuff
- 2a. A, E Parallel
- 2c. B, D Parallel
Thursday July 5, morning
- 3b. C and D combined: Event Generators and Jet Algorithms: the Next
Generation
- 3a. C, E Parallel
- 3c. D, B Parallel
Friday July 6, afternoon
- 4a-b Joint with other working group(s)
- 4c D,E parallel
Saturday July 7, afternoon
- 5a-b Joint with other working group(s)
- 5c A,C parallel
WEEKS 2 AND 3 (July 8-20)
During the next six scheduled sessions, subgroups
will operate for the most part independently,
with prearranged venues for topics of
special interest and overlap. We have no scheduled
sessions on July 12, 13 or 15.
Monday July 9, afternoon
- a) Light Cone QCD
- b) QCD and Nuclei
- c) The Future of Event Shapes
Tuesday July 10, morning
- Lattice QCD: High Precision & Experimental Tests & Applications
Wednesday July 11, afternoon
- Lattice QCD: Higher-loops & Chiral Perturbation Theory
Thursday July 12
- Mid-Snowmass Plenary Talks
Saturday July 14, afternoon
- Double Parton Scattering and Underlying Events
Monday July 16, afternoon
- a) t-tbar near threshold
- b) Rare Heavy Quark Decays
Tuesday July 17, afternoon
- a) Polarized Beams
- b) Dedicated QCD Studies at New Facilities
Wednesday July 18, afternoon
In the final scheduled session, we will try to figure out how to make
sense of it all, perhaps with short subgroup
reports, individual talks, etc.
