MCnet objectives
Training:• To train a large section of the user base in the physics and
techniques of event generators• To train the next generation of event generator developersThrough Research:• To develop the next generation of event generators intended
for use throughout the lifetimes of the LHC and ILC experiments
• To play a central role in the analysis of early LHC data and the discovery of new particles and interactions there
• To extract the maximum potential from existing data to constrain the modeling of the data from the LHC and other future experiments.
MCnet main activities
January 2007
• Four postdoc positions• Two joint studentships (Karlsruhe–Durham, Durham–UCL)• Annual School (YETI-like)• Two annual meetings (Januarys @ CERN, summer with school)
• Annual programme of ‘residentships’: short term studentships held by experimental and theoretical users– Mechanism for enhanced user support
• Networking– Travel and visitor money
– Web site (www.montecarlonet.org)
