Resummation and Parton Showers

Jul 15, 2013, 9:00 AM → Jul 17, 2013, 2:00 PM Europe/London

OC218 (IPPP, Durham)

This workshop aims at instigating discussions on * different resummation techniques and their relation; * various parton shower formalisms and their formal accuracy; * the connection between analytical resummation and parton showers; the matching to fixed order results.
