8.30-10.30 Theoretical "challenges" by participating theorists:

08.30-09.00 P. Osland/Bergen - Higgs properties and radions,

09.00-09.30 K. Huitu/Helsinki - R-parity breaking channels and doubly-charged Higgses

09.30-10.00 P. DiVecchia/NORDITA - extra dimensions

10.00-10.30 A. Khodjamirian/NBI - rare B decays, B production

-- coffee --

11.00-12.35 Experimental framework and MC implementation

11.00-11.45 Experimental framework: cross-sections, backgrounds, triggers, acceptance etc., J-R Hansen/NBI

11.45-12.30 Implementation of new physics in PYTHIA, T. Sjöstrand/Lund

-- lunch --

14.00-15.30 Past case studies: analysis tools

14.00-14.25 SUSY MSSM/GMSB studies in ATLAS: variables, cuts, typical backgrounds etc., J. Sjölin/Stockholm

14.25-14.50 SUGRA/R-parity violation studies in ATLAS: variables, cuts, typical backgrounds etc., Chr. Clement/KTH

14.50-15.30 Higgs and SUSY studies in CMS, R. Kinnunen/Helsinki

15.30-19.00 Brainstorming session

   This will be based on ideas and tools presented here. For each topic, summarize

• manpower: who will be committed to study which channels
• practical steps needed to produce results
• workplan: how to proceed, expected milestones, plan how and how often one needs to communicate (phone, videoconferencing)

   We foresee to be able to discuss the topics one after another, so that all can participate. The discussion will be lead by a theorist and an experimentalist.

15.30-16.00 R-parity breaking - K. Huitu

16.00-16.30 Doubly charged Higgs - K. Huitu
