42. Hands on SModelS

Jan Heisig (Université catholique de Louvain (UCL)), Jan Heisig (RWTH Aachen University), Andre Lessa (CCNH - Univ. Federal do ABC)

16/02/2021, 11:00

An introduction to the SModelS functionalities with a variety of hands-on examples and extensive Q&A.

48. Hands-on SMEFTsim

Ilaria Brivio (University of Heidelberg)

17/02/2021, 10:00

SMEFTsim is a package containing model files for calculations in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. It can be interfaced to Mathematics via FeynRules and to Monte Carlo event generators.
This tutorial will present the main features of SMEFTsin and give a practical example of usage in Madgraph5.

44. MARTY: A C++ framework to automate theoretical calculations for BSM phenomenology

Mr Grégoire Uhlrich

17/02/2021, 11:00

MARTY is a C++ computer algebra system specialized for High Energy Physics that can calculate amplitudes, squared amplitudes and Wilson coefficients in a large variety of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios up to the one-loop order. It is fully independent of any other framework and its main development guideline is generality, in order to be adapted easily to any type of model. The...

54. CheckMATE tutorial

Mangesh Sonawane (Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT)), Jong Soo Kim

18/02/2021, 10:00

This tutorial will guide you through some practical examples to learn how CheckMATE works. In addition to CheckMATE, we will also run some other tools that are useful for collider phenomenology.

26. Elevenses over MadAnalysis 5

Jack Araz (IPPP - Durham University)

18/02/2021, 11:00

A brief tutorial on recasting capabilities of MadAnalysis 5 with an extended Q&A session.

33. Hands on MadMiner

Kyle Stuart Cranmer (New York University (US))

18/02/2021, 15:30

I will review the MadMiner tool, which implements approaches to approximate the fully differential likelihood (or likelihood ratio) including showering and detector effects with machine learning. The techniques are described in three publications “Constraining Effective Field Theories With Machine Learning”, “A Guide to Constraining Effective Field Theories With Machine Learning”, and “Mining...

25. pyhf: pure-python HistFactory -- the tutorial

Matthew Feickert (Univ. Illinois at Urbana Champaign (US)), Lukas Alexander Heinrich (CERN), Giordon Holtsberg Stark (University of California,Santa Cruz (US))

18/02/2021, 16:30

The HistFactory p.d.f. template [CERN-OPEN-2012-016][1] is per-se independent of its implementation in ROOT and sometimes, it’s useful to be able to run statistical analysis outside of ROOT, RooFit, RooStats framework. This tutorial will introduce users (who are generally familiar with hypothesis testing) to the [pyhf][2] python package. Examples using public [HEPData][3] material will be...

31. Contur tutorial

Martin Habedank (Humboldt University of Berlin (DE)), Jonathan Butterworth (UCL)

19/02/2021, 10:00

28. ADL Training with CutLangV2

Gokhan Unel (University of California Irvine (US))

The possibility for a complete and unified Analysis Description Language (ADL) has recently been widely discussed in the HEP community. Such a language allows both quick analysis design and easy reinterpretation studies. A runtime interpreted version of the language, born from the unification of the early work, known as LHADA and CutLang, is presently available under the name CutLang V2.
We...
