19. MC for BSM with Pythia 8

Stefan Ask (European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN))

This presentation will give a status report of the BSM processes available in Pythia 8. The features most relevant for BSM physics are summarized and a graviton study will be discussed as an example of how a so-called semi-internal process can be used to implement a new BSM process.
