 pySecDec: a toolbox for the numerical evaluation of multi-scale integrals / Borowka, S. ; Heinrich, G. ; Jahn, S. ; Jones, S.P. ; Kerner, M. ; Schlenk, J. ; Zirke, T. We present pySecDec, a new version of the program SecDec, which performs the factorisation of dimensionally regulated poles in parametric integrals, and the subsequent numerical evaluation of the finite coefficients.

 A Worm Algorithm for the Lattice CP(N-1) Model / Rindlisbacher, Tobias (Zurich, ETH) ; de Forcrand, Philippe (Zurich, ETH ; CERN) The CP(N-1) model in 2D is an interesting toy model for 4D QCD as it possesses confinement, asymptotic freedom and a non-trivial vacuum structure.

 Standard Model Parton Distributions at Very High Energies / Bauer, Christian W. (LBNL, Berkeley ; CERN) ; Ferland, Nicolas (LBNL, Berkeley) ; Webber, Bryan R. (Cambridge U.) We compute the leading-order evolution of parton distribution functions for all the Standard Model fermions and bosons up to energy scales far above the electroweak scale, where electroweak symmetry is restored.
