Multi-jet topologies and multi-scale QCD

Ongoing Projects:

• Search for effects of multiple parton interations in production of forward jets (Jacek Turnau)
• Study of production of forward photons in the H1 detector (simulation) (Jacek Turnau)
• Forward Jets in LHCb (Eduardo Rodrigues) HELP WANTED
• Dijet rates with symmetric E_T cuts (Mrinal Dasgupta)
• Uncertainties in the unintegrated gluon distribution (Leif Lönnblad)

Other proposed subtopics:

• Small-x effects on jet production
  (Can we understand forward jets at HERA? large-rapidity separated jets in pp? forward particle and energy flow?)
• Unintegrated PDF's for Heavy quarks and vector boson prod.
  (Do we understand small-x resummation for heavy quarks, do we need it for W production, can we describe associated jets?)
• K_T-factorization
  (Can we get better precision? Global fits?)
• Power corrections at in ep and pp
  (Valuable tool in ee and ep, where can we use it at LHC?)
• Coherence effects in multijets
  (Can we learn anything more from LHC?)
• High-Et, High multiplicity predictions for the LHC
  (Are they reliable? ME or PS or both? What can we learn from dijets in the DIS-photoproduction transition?)
• Jet definitions
  (Is the kt-algorithm the final word?)
