Description

Rivet has recently added machinery for BSM searches, including cut-flow & object-filtering tools, and analysis-specific fast detector simulation. The latter both provides efficiency maps specific to the analysis' acceptance, and aligns with the LHC experiments' chosen approach to not provide public fast-simulation tools. I'll review these developments and the performance of this approach for several 13 TeV LHC analyses, and demonstrate CLs bounds from a new limit-setting tool using these new features.
