Abstract

Nowadays, one needs to consider seriously the possibility that a large separation between the scale of new physics and the electroweak scale exists. Nevertheless, there are still observables in this scenario, in particular the Higgs mass, which are sensitive to the properties of the UV theory. In order to obtain reliable predictions for a model which involves very heavy degrees of freedom, the precise matching to an effective theory is necessary. While this has been so far only studied for a few selected examples, we present an extension of the package to perform automatically the matching between two scalar sectors at the full one-loop level for general models. We show that we can reproduce all important results for commonly studied models like split- or high-scale supersymmetry. One can now easily go beyond that and study new ideas involving very heavy states, where the effective model can either be just the standard model or an extension of it. Also scenarios with several matching scales can be easily considered. We provide model files for the MSSM with seven different mass hierarchies as well as two high-scale versions of the NMSSM. Moreover, it is explained how new models are implemented.
