FeynRules 2010 Workshop on automatization for BSM physics

Mont Ste-Odile, France, 14-19 March 2010.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together few people to progress on topics related to automatization for BSM physics, important in this LHC era. ​Programme

Description of the different Working Groups

• Working Group 1 : Development of new quantum field theory functionalities in automatized codes.
• Working Group 2 : Interface development.
• Working Group 3 : Model implementation, validation and diffusion.
• Working Group 4 : Physics projects.

Proceedings & Progress/status of the different projects

• Working Group 1
  • Implementation of the superfield formalism in FeynRules: 70% done (Kahler potential for both Abelian and not Abelian gauge interactions + superfield strength tensors in the Abelian case)
  • Mass Matrices
  • Higher-dimensional operators
  • Automatic Validation Package from the Web: Essentially done. Just waiting for administrators to set up Apache to make it easier for developers to use.
• Working Group 2
  • Python Interface
  • HELAS -> ALOHA: 90% done (still need some check on the majorana)
  • FeynArts Interface: 70% done (4 fermions operators and sum over lorentz indices have some problems)
• Working Group 3
  • Survey
  • following models
  • Model Database (Related to work on Web Validation, but needs discussion for the exact relationship.)
• Working Group 4
  • Spin 2: Needs validation and physics simulations.
  • Zprime-dedicated MC event generator including soft-gluon resummation: 5% done (some discussions but project not really started...)
