Working Group on Radiative Corrections and Generators for Low Energy Hadronic Cross Section and Luminosity

18 Sept 2010, 09:30 → 19 Sept 2010, 13:30 Europe/London

University of Liverpool/LNF

This eighth meeting of the Working Group `Radio Monte CarLow' is scheduled as a satellite meeting of the tau2010 conference in Manchester to make up for the meeting in April in Frascati which had to be cancelled due to the travel disruptions caused by the Islandic volcano. The aim of the meeting is to present and discuss recent developments in the field of radiative corrections and Monte Carlo generators for low energy cross sections and luminosity determination which have happened since the publication of the Working Group Report, and to discuss future projects and activities of the WG.

Support
Financial support of the meeting from IPPP Durham is gratefully acknowledged.
