This topical group covers the following: physics with jet and jet substructure, calculations of higher-order effects and their impact on precision QCD physics, measurements of the strong coupling constant and its running, measurements of quark masses, PDF fits and PDF-sensitive measurements, W/Z(+jets) boson production, and techniques to improve accuracy of future MC event generators.

There is a tight synergy with other groups, including EF06 and EF07.

If you have a topic you feel would be of interest to the group, please contact the conveners: s-hoeche@fnal.gov begel@bnl.gov m-schmitt@northwestern.edu.
