MA.00001: What We Have Learned from the Early LHC Measurements Invited Speaker: The LHC ``underlying event'' measurements at 900 GeV and 7 TeV are compared with the Tevatron ``underlying event'' measurements from CDF and D0 and with some of the QCD Monte-Carlo model predictions. In addition, the relationship between the modeling of the ``underlying event'' in a hard scattering process and the modeling of the complete inelastic non-diffractive cross section will be examined and some of the new PYTHIA 6.2, PYTHIA 6.4, and PYTHIA 8 tunes which are designed to improve the agreement with the LHC data will be compared and discussed. We have learned a lot about QCD from the early LHC measurements. [Preview Abstract] |

MA.00002: First Physics Results from CMS Invited Speaker: The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has collected and analyzed since spring 2010 at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV. In addition to measurements of well established standard model processes, first results of searches for new physics in this energy regime have been carried out. This talk will concentrate on these searches while also including projections of future results with larger datasets. [Preview Abstract] |

MA.00003: ATLAS: results and prospects Invited Speaker: The ATLAS experiment records the most minute details of proton-proton collision events produced by the Large Hadron Collider. Events are analyzed and compared to the predictions of the Standard Model, a theory that can now be tested in regimes never before explored by experiments. While producing new measurements of Standard Model parameters, ATLAS will also perform a broad array of searches for inconsistencies between data and theoretical calculations. Recent ATLAS measurements of QCD and electroweak processes provide the foundation for these ongoing searches for new interactions, and some searches are now establishing new limits. In this talk I discuss the latest measurements from the ATLAS experiment and the performance of the detector systems during the ongoing 7 TeV collider run, and describe the prospects for discoveries in this context.

MA.00004: Results from the D0 experiment Invited Speaker: As of summer 2010, the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider has acquired an integrated luminosity of 8 fb$^{-1}$ in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. This presentation gives an overview on recent D0 results, including searches for the Higgs particle and for New Physics Phenomena, measurements of top quark production, electroweak and QCD physics, and also on the dimuon charge asymmetry.
