The theory - quantum chromodynamics - has a challenging and rich structure, from simple fractals of (quantum) fluctuations within fluctuations, to strongly bound towers of resonances. In high-energy experiments, such as those at CERN, our ability to make forecasts is pushed to the limit, and then some. The task of “event generators” is simple: deliver a complete description, in as much detail as mother nature. The solutions are less simple, and yet the clarity of our vision of the Terascale depends on them. You can help! P e t e r S k a n d s : C E R N P i l o t P r o j e c t 4
