 DescriptionThe Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental Project on QCD is a multi-institutional collaboration devoted to a broad program of research projects and cooperative enterprises in high-energy physics centered on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and its implications in all areas of the Standard Model and beyond. The Collaboration consists of 32 theorists and experimentalists at 18 universities and 5 national laboratories. The Project's program includes:
  • A wide range of research projects to advance the quantitative predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics, emphasizing collaboration between theorists and experimentalists
  • An annual CTEQ Summer School on QCD Analysis and Phenomenology….
  • An on-going comprehensive global QCD analysis project to test the accuracy of QCD and to extract the universal parton distribution functions needed in calculations of all high energy physics processes
  • A Handbook of Perturbative QCD which will provide an up-to-date reference for the entire field
  • Periodic topical Workshops to address current outstanding problems in QCD research for active working high-energy physicists
