Introduction to MCnet and MCnetITN3 Prof. Mike Seymour School of Physics & Astronomy University of Manchester
MCnetITN3 Funded for four years April 1st 2017 March 31st 2021 540 student months 11 x 36-month PhDs (vs 6PhDs+ 8RAs) 144 short-term student-months (vs 142) 972,000 research, training & networking 4 schools (+ 2 overseas) 8 meetings 4 training events Training + travel + visitors + secondments
MCnet A network of physicists dedicated to developing Monte Carlo event generators, and related tools, for the LHC and other particle physics experiments Formed in 2006 Funded by the EU since 2007 To add value to the individual research of our nodes and projects, to pool our training efforts, and to develop common solutions to common problems
MCnetITN3 An EU Horizon 2020 funded Innovative Training Network April 2017 March 2021 ~ 4M Euros 11 PhD studentships 144 student-months short-term studentships ~40 studentships
MCnetITN3 Beneficiaries: Manchester, Durham, Glasgow, UCL G ttingen, Karlsruhe, Louvain, Lund Academic Partners: CERN, Heidelberg, Monash, SLAC + Fermilab Non-Academic Partners: blue yonder, d-fine, IBA, B12

Secondments Non-academic secondment of long-term PhD students 11 students, normally 3 months in their second year (September 2018 August 2019) Academic secondment of long-term PhD students 11 students, normally 6 months in their third year (September 2019 August 2020) including to Monash & SLAC (non-EU)
Future Directions The individual projects have clearly-defined priorities and plans Common themes Further precision (NNLO inclusive, NLO multi-jet) Quantification of precision EW corrections / multi-EW boson emission further improvements to BSM simulation Opportunities for inter-project collaboration
