Description

If physics beyond the standard model are discovered, an important goal will be to determine the fundamental parameters of the underlying model from numerous highly correlated observables in a rigorous treatment of the experimental as well as the theoretical errors. SFitter provides a comprehensive bottom-up approach by combining tools to fit models to collider observables and indirect constraints. Several minimization techniques can be used to reconstruct the best parameter set and estimate the errors on its determination. We present the features of SFitter and illustrate its techniques in several supersymmetric scenarios.
