C2.00001: Interpreting Collider Data Invited Speaker: The success and discovery potential of both the Run II of the Tevatron and the LHC hinge on a very fine interplay between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements. In this talk I will illustrate by general arguments and specific examples how this applies to refining some well established areas of the Standard Model as well as to exploring uncharted areas beyond it. I will conclude by reviewing the main progress made in recent years towards the interpretation of collider data and highlight some of the ongoing developments. [Preview Abstract] |

C2.00002: QCD Backgrounds at Colliders Invited Speaker: I will present an update of theoretical studies of QCD backgrounds at colliders, focusing on the important case of associated production of a vector boson with jets at colliders. A new polarization effect for W bosons at high transverse momentum at the LHC is also discussed. [Preview Abstract] |

C2.00003: Associated Production of W boson With Jets at the Tevatron Invited Speaker: Associated production of W bosons with jets is one of the most important Standard Model (SM) processes in hadronic collisions. This is a so-called ``standard candle,'' which allows for testing and calibrating perturbative QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models in a multi-jet environment. The SM W-boson production in association with light and heavy flavor jets is the major background for Higgs boson and many new physics searches at the Tevatron and LHC colliders. The W+c-quark production also provides important information on the s-quark distribution function inside proton. Therefore, a detailed knowledge of this process is of paramount importance for the success of search programs at the Tevatron and LHC. In this presentation, I will report of the status of latest measurements of the SM W-boson production in association with inclusive and heavy favor (c- and b-quarks) jets performed by the Tevatron experiments. I will briefly describe experimental techniques and provide a comparison of results with theoretical calculations and Monte Carlo predictions. [Preview Abstract] |
