We present a general procedure to decompose Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) collider signatures presenting Z2 symmetry into Simplified Spectrum (SMS) topologies. Our method provides way cast BSM predictions for LHC in model independent framework, which can be directly confronted with relevant experimental constraints. concrete implementation currently focusses on supersymmetry searches missing energy, large variety of SMS results from ATLAS and CMS are available. As show-case examples we...

Results from the LHC put severe constraints on models of new physics. This includes Higgs sector precise measurement mass and couplings 125GeV boson, as well limits searches for other particles. We present procedure to use these in micrOMEGAs by interfacing it external codes Lilith, HiggsSignals, HiggsBounds SModelS. A few dedicated modules are also provided. With features, micrOMEGAs_4.3 provides a generic framework evaluating dark matter observables together with collider non-collider constraints.

Forest mensuration is important to gain knowledge and information about forest stands. Because tree height often proves more difficult measure than diameter, different statistical models are used for their estimation instead. In this paper, the data of 986 spruce trees (Picea abies KARST. (L.)), measured in federal states Salzburg Tyrol (Austria), were train compare random with traditional approaches such as linear non-linear mixed a classical uniform curve. For model comparison, RMSE,...

Landslide activity is expected to increase as climate change reduces mountain slope stability. High-Arctic regions like Svalbard are critical for studying dynamics in a changing climate, especially due arctic amplification effects. Despite the significance of Arctic research, empirical evidence these often lacking absence long-term, high-resolution terrain data necessary assess impact meteorological conditions on landscapes severely affected by change. Bridging this gap vital comprehending...

We consider simplified dark matter models where a candidate couples to the standard model (SM) particles via an s-channel spin-2 mediator, and study constraints on parameter space from current LHC data. Our focus lies complementarity among different searches, in particular monojet multijet plus missing-energy searches resonance searches. For universal couplings of mediator SM particles, can give stronger than WW, ZZ, dijet, dihiggs, $$t\bar{t}$$ , $$b\bar{b}$$ low-mass region and/or when...

We assess how different ATLAS and CMS searches for supersymmetry in the $$ t\overline{t}+{E}_T^{\mathrm{miss}} final state at Run 1 of LHC constrain scenarios with a fermionic top partner dark matter candidate. find that efficiencies these all-hadronic, 1-lepton 2-lepton channels are quite similar scalar partners. Therefore, general, efficiency maps stop-neutralino simplified models can also be applied to top-partner models, provided narrow width approximation holds latter. Owing much higher...

SModelS is a tool for the automatic interpretation of simplified-model results from LHC. Version 1.0 code now publicly available. This document provides quick user guide installing and running v1.0.

A mostly right-handed sneutrino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is an interesting dark matter candidate, leading to LHC signatures which can be quite distinct from those of conventional neutralino LSP. Using SModelSv1.0.1 for testing model against limits published by ATLAS and CMS in context so-called Simplified Model Spectra (SMS), we investigate what extent supersymmetry searches at Run 1 constrain sneutrino-LSP scenario. Moreover, discuss most relevant topologies no SMS...

Discrepancies between measurements of decay modes with an underlying quark level transition $$b\rightarrow s \ell ^+\ell ^-$$ and standard model (SM) predictions have persisted for several years, particularly the muon channels. The inadequacy SM becomes more compelling in a global fit. For example, Capdevila et al. (JHEP 01, 093. arXiv:1704.05340 , 2018) described 175 observables by six parameters encoding new physics quantified disagreement at about $$5\sigma $$ level. While certain one two...

The U(1) extended supersymmetric standard model (UMSSM) can accommodate a Higgs boson at 125 GeV without relying on large corrections from the top/stop sector. After imposing LHC results sector, B-physics and new particle searches as well dark matter constraints, we show that this offers two viable candidates, right-handed (RH) sneutrino or neutralino. Limits super-symmetric partners simplified are imposed using SModelS allow for light squarks gluinos. Moreover upper limit relic abundance...

We investigate to which extent the SUSY search results published by ATLAS and CMS in context of simplified models actually cover more realistic scenarios a full model. Concretely, we work within phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) with 19 free parameters compare constraints obtained from SModelS v1.1.1 those pMSSM study arXiv:1508.06608. find that about 40-45% points excluded escape currently available model constraints. For these identify most relevant topologies are not tested current results....

A recent paper on visualizing the sensitivity of hadronic experiments to nucleon structure [1] introduces tool PDFSense which defines measures allow user judge PDF fits a given experiment.

We show how tour, dynamic visualisation high dimensional data, can extend this beyond relationships. This approach enables resolving orthogonal 2-d viewing plane...

Taking projections of high-dimensional data is a common analytical and visualization technique in statistics for working with problems. Sectioning, or slicing, through high dimensions less common, but can be useful visualizing concavities, nonlinear structure. It associated conditional distributions statistics, also linked brushing between plots interactive visualization. This short technical note describes simple approach slicing the orthogonal space obtained when running tour, thus...

In high-dimensional data analysis, the curse of dimensionality reasons that points tend to be far away from center distribution and on edge space. Contrary this, is projected tends clump at center. This gives a sense any structure near projection obscured, whether this true or not. A geometric transformation reverse curse, defined in article, which uses radial transformations data. It integrated seamlessly into grand tour algorithm, we have called it burning sage tour, indicate reverses...

ATLAS and CMS have been performing a large number of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In particular results supersymmetry (SUSY) are typically interpreted in context simplified models. While mass limits obtained this manner highly model dependent, cross section upper (or efficiency maps) may be used to obtain constraints on generic BSM scenarios without any further event detector simulation. This procedure has automatised public tool SModelS, which first decomposes...

The also shift center slice, example, explore how changes in local subspaces. Mathematica package as well example notebooks are provided, contain functions enabling experiment with these manual controls, one...
