We present recent developments in the Analysis Description Language (ADL) and the runtime interpreter CutLang in the context of (re)interpretation studies. The talk will cover ongoing validation efforts from LHC BSM analyses and various improvements to the infrastructure to accommodate analysis implementation and validation requirements. We will also present studies using ATLAS open data....
ColliderBit is the GAMBIT module responsible for simulating LHC physics in the GAMBIT global fitting tool. In this talk we will present recent technical developments in ColliderBit, including new LHC analysis implemented, improvements to three-body decay kinematics relevant for supersymmetry searches, as well as updates to interfaces to other codes.
I will discuss recent developments and new features in CheckMATE, in particular multibin signal regions, new searches using machine learning methods and (perhaps) statistical combination of searches.
SModelS is a public tool for fast reinterpretation of LHC searches for new physics based on a large database of simplified model results. Version 3 includes a new framework based on a description of arbitrary simplified model topologies as directed graphs. This new development allows the tool to go beyond Z2-preserving topologies, including results from resonance searches, R-Parity violating...
The Rivet framework is widely used for analysis preservation and Monte Carlo validation, featuring around 2000 analysis routines, and is primarily used in BSM reinterpretation through the measurement-focused Contur method and tool. However, it is much less established in preservation of BSM searches, despite possessing the essential features such as detector "smearing" of physics objects, and...
While advancements in software development practices across particle physics and adoption of Linux container technology have made substantial impact in the ease of replicability and reuse of analysis software stacks, the underlying software environments are still primarily bespoke builds that lack a full manifest to ensure reproducibility across time. The [HEP Packaging...
