Tools and precision calculations for Physics discoveries at colliders

Objective

Precise theoretical predictions are crucial for exploiting the discovery potential of the present and future high energy colliders. HEPTOOLS aims to maximize the physics gain over the next decade
(1) by the development, standardization and systematization of reliable sophisticated computational tools that are easily accessible to the whole high-energy physics community,
(2) by providing the precision calculations needed to match the high accuracy of forthcoming experiments and
(3) by the completion of studi es related to the discovery of new particles and interactions, both directly, in the detailed analysis of multi-particle final states, and indirectly, in the investigation of quantum corrections to very precisely measurable quantities.
It is vital for the longevity and prosperity of our research field that new generations of high-energy physicists are endowed with the tremendous expertise accumulated over the last 20 years. The training part of the project is well-structured. Each team has requested a carefully balanced ratio of early-stage to experienced researchers in order to maximize the training at the PhD level and the transfer of knowledge. Network-wide activities like schools and workshops are planned and carefully interlinked with the individual tea m driven training provided in more than 35 leading higher-education and research institutions spread throughout Europe. The incorporation of research groups from Russia, United States and Japan, makes HEPTOOLS a unique worldwide network project and a first step towards an international collaboration for high-energy phenomenology.
The structure of the management fosters an efficient, comprehensive and economic coordination of the project. It is based around the small and flexible steering and scientific committees and the training, human resources and outreach coordinators that will ensure the implementation of a programme aimed at establishing synergies at the local, European and international level.
