Resummation and Parton Showers

15 Jul 2013, 09:00 → 17 Jul 2013, 14:00 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.
