  1. MC4BSM Kick-Off Konstantin Matchev University of Florida

  2. Motivation for the MC4BSM Workshops • Generic problems • Experimentalists’ complaints • “This model is very nice, but do you have an event generator for it? Is this model in PYTHIA? …” • Lack of manpower among MC writers • Too many/too active model builders • As a result, • Actually it is even worse:

  3. Organization of the Workshops • The first MC4BSM workshop already • introduced some of the main MC tools • HERWIG and PYTHIA (Richardson) • PANDORA (Peskin) • CalcHEP and CompHEP (Pukhov) • reviewed several classes of models • Warped Extra Dimensions (Agashe, Sundrum) • Little Higgs (Schmaltz) • Universal Extra Dimensions (Cheng) • Z’ and Higgsless models (Simmons) • This second workshop aims to produce concrete results! It has a different format – more of a workshop, less of a conference.

  4. Format of MC4BSM-2 • The organizers: prior to the workshop, recruit teams of writers, assign homework, and solicit testers • The writers commit to the following: • Choose a theory model of their liking • Implement the model in one of the MC tools • Write documentation about the implementation • Make the implementation public (maintain a web page) • All of this should be done prior to the workshop • At the workshop: give a talk about the implementation • The testers are invited to try out the available implementations and provide feedback (before, during and after the workshop) about bugs, user-friendliness… • 11 teams of writers volunteered, 10 talks.

  5. Team Reports – Friday March 23 10:50 am – 12:30 pm • Ethan Dolle, Hock-Seng Goh, Shufang Su • Left-Right Twin Higgs Model in Calchep • Jay Hubisz, Andrew Noble, Maxim Perelstein • A Madgraph-4.0 implementation of Little Higgs models with T parity • Johan Alwall, Stephen Mrenna, Matt Schwartz • A MadGraph implementation of SCET matching • Patrick Meade, Matthew Reece • BRIDGE: a calculator for widths and decays • Philip Schuster, Jesse Thaler, Natalia Toro, Liantao Wang • MARMOSET: Signal-Based Monte Carlo for the LHC

  6. Team Reports – Saturday March 24 10:40 am – 12:20 pm • Michel Herquet • The generic 2HDM implementation in MG/ME v4 • Alexander Belyaev, Neil Christensen • A CalcHEP implementation of a 3-site model • Michael Davenport and Michael Peskin • UED KK-quark decays in PANDORA • Bogdan Dobrescu, Kyoungchul Kong, Rakhi Mahbubani • 2 UEDs in CalcHEP • AseshKrishna Datta, Kyoungchul Kong, Konstantin Matchev • Minimal UED in CalcHEP/CompHEP

  7. Sign up to be a writer Join an existing teams Set up your own team to implement your favorite model Sign up to be a tester Try out the codes (all are linked to the workshop website) Provide feedback to the authors Join the round table tomorrow at 2pm What Can You Do to Help?
