•Beam Jet physics: Studies
of the underlying event, charged track multiplicity, etc. and the
transition into hard jet production.
•Event Generators, PDFs and
Tunings: Method to select tunings?
•Keeping Orders in Order:
The techniques of resummation, angular ordering, NNLO order and
parton showers need to be accounted for systematically. This
interacts with tuning issues.
•Validation of computations:
The matrix element and parton shower tools need to be validated
before we observe discrepancies between predictions and
experiment.
•Exciting New Stuff
•Measurables and Observables:
The issues of clustering, IR safe quantities, etc., that can
actually be computed reliably in perturbation theory.
•Streams and interrelations: Different trigger paths.
Accurate Description of
Standard Processes
(so we can compare data
to theory and decide
if a deviation is
significant)
