WG3 · Theory-Experiment Interface

WG3 keeps theoretical ambition tightly connected to experimental feasibility.

Working Group 3

WG3 · Theory-Experiment Interface

WG3 bridges theory and experiment by developing and maintaining shared physics benchmarks and by guiding the discussion towards the most pressing physics needs.

Co-Leaders: Dr Humberto Reyes-Gonzalez, Dr Andrea Coccaro

  • Map theoretical innovations to measurable observables and detector constraints.
  • Maintain shared benchmark datasets and documentation linking physics and computation.
  • Facilitate rapid feedback loops between MC decisions, WG plans, and theorist contributions.

Current priorities

Stimulate discussions among theory and experimental experts for delivering physics benchmarks and for ensuring the physics potential of current and future collider machines is maximised.

Key outputs
  • Publish living benchmark notes aligned with MC-approved objectives.
  • Provide specification templates for WG1 & WG2 developments.
  • Coordinate topical meetings that pair theorists with detector and computing experts.
Collaboration touchpoints
  • Partner with WG1 to keep ML pipelines grounded in physics requirements.
  • Support WG2 by defining QC use cases rooted in theory advances.
  • Work with the Core Group to translate scientific roadmaps into WG milestones.
