33. ATLAS strategy for the reinterpretation of BSM analyses

Iacopo Vivarelli (University of Sussex (GB))

Over the past years, ATLAS has developed a well defined approach to ease the reinterpretation of the results of BSM analyses. I will review the key points of this strategy, with emphasis on the auxiliary material that the collaboration is making available to the particle physics community (excluding long-lived particles which will be discussed in dedicated talks).

35. Sensitivity of "prompt" searches to long-lived particles: ATLAS

Javier Montejo Berlingen (CERN)

14/05/2018, 11:20

Experimental talk

Study of the sensitivity of "prompt" searches to long-lived particles, discussing experimental aspects and the information required for the correct treatment in public recast tools.

21. Simplified Likelihoods for BSM re-interpretations

Nicholas Wardle (Imperial College (GB))

Methods & tools

Simplified Likelihoods are a convenient tool for re-interpretations of searches for new physics, which require a relatively limited set of information to be provided from the experimental collaborations. More precise re-interpretations are however possible with even further information. A proposal for an extension to the Simplified Likelihood is presented which aims to improve the level of...

24. Flavor anomalies at LHCb

Biplab Dey (CCNU)

14/05/2018, 16:30

Experimental talk

I will discuss the status and prospects of the current flavor anomalies at LHCb.

6. Updates on SuperIso and interpretation of the flavour anomalies

Nazila Mahmoudi (Lyon University)

14/05/2018, 17:00

Methods & tools

I will present an update of the program SuperIso, and discuss the interpretations of the recent anomalies observed at LHCb.

10. Introduction to Decays in SoftSusy-4.0

Mr Thomas Cridge (University of Cambridge)

14/05/2018, 17:30

Methods & tools

I will provide a summary of the decay capabilities of the most recent version of SoftSusy, incorporating key MSSM, NMSSM and Higgs decays and many other modes. I will also provide an indication of future directions for further developments of the program.

31. Unfolded jets+MET search in ATLAS (TBC)
