Proceedings of the first MadAnalysis 5 workshop on LHC recasting in Korea
Benjamin Fuks, Samuel Bein, Guillaume Chalons +22
We present the activities performed during the first MadAnalysis 5 workshop on LHC recasting that has been organized at High 1 (Gangwon privince, Korea) on August 20-27, 2017. This…
Investigating light NMSSM pseudoscalar states with boosted ditau tagging
Eric Conte, Benjamin Fuks, Jun Guo +2
We study a class of realizations of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model that is motivated by dark matter and Higgs data, and in which the lightest pseudoscalar Higgs…
A comprehensive approach to dark matter studies: exploration of simplified top-philic models
Chiara Arina, Mihailo BackoviÄ, Eric Conte +10
Studies of dark matter lie at the interface of collider physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Constraining models featuring dark matter candidates entails the capability to provide…
Designing and recasting LHC analyses with MadAnalysis 5
Eric Conte, Béranger Dumont, Benjamin Fuks +1
We present an extension of the expert mode of the MadAnalysis 5 program dedicated to the design or reinterpretation of high-energy physics collider analyses. We detail the predefin…
MadAnalysis 5: status and new developments
Eric Conte, Benjamin Fuks
MadAnalysis 5 is a new Python/C++ package facilitating phenomenological analyses that can be performed in the framework of Monte Carlo simulations of collisions to be produced in h…
Monotop phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider
Jean-Laurent Agram, Jeremy Andrea, Michael Buttignol +2
We investigate new physics scenarios where systems comprised of a single top quark accompanied by missing transverse energy, dubbed monotops, can be produced at the LHC. Following…
Reinterpretation of LHC Results for New Physics: Status and Recommendations after Run 2
Waleed Abdallah, Shehu AbdusSalam, Azar Ahmadov +139
We report on the status of efforts to improve the reinterpretation of searches and measurements at the LHC in terms of models for new physics, in the context of the LHC Reinterpret…
LHC constraints and potential on resonant monotop production
Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Eric Conte, Aldo Deandrea +2
We discuss the phenomenology associated with a resonant monotop collider signal, i.e. a signal in which a single top quark is resonantly produced in association with missing energy…
New features of MadAnalysis 5 for analysis design and reinterpretation
Eric Conte, Béranger Dumont, Benjamin Fuks +1
We present MadAnalysis 5, an analysis package dedicated to phenomenological studies of simulated collisions occurring in high-energy physics experiments. Within this framework, use…
Probing top anomalous couplings at the LHC with trilepton signatures in the single top mode
Jean-Laurent Agram, Jeremy Andrea, Eric Conte +3
We investigate trilepton final states to probe top anomalous couplings at the Large Hadron Collider. We focus on events originating from the associated production of a single top q…
Confronting new physics theories to LHC data with MadAnalysis 5
Eric Conte, Benjamin Fuks
We provide a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to the MadAnalysis 5 framework, with a particular focus on its usage for reinterpretation studies. To this end, we first rev…
MadAnalysis 5, a user-friendly framework for collider phenomenology
Eric Conte, Benjamin Fuks, Guillaume Serret
We present MadAnalysis 5, a new framework for phenomenological investigations at particle colliders. Based on a C++ kernel, this program allows to efficiently perform, in a straigh…
Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider
Juliette Alimena, James Beacham, Martino Borsato +198
Particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) can generically have lifetimes that are long compared to SM particles at the weak scale. When produced at experiments such as the Large Had…
