A framework to create customised LHC analyses within CheckMATE

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
Checkmate  is a framework that allows the user to conveniently test simulated BSM physics events against current LHC data in order to derive exclusion limits. For this purpose, the data runs through a detector simulation and is then processed by a user chosen selection of experimental analyses. These analyses are all defined by signal regions that can be compared to the experimental data with a multitude of statistical tools.
Due to the large and continuously growing number of experimental a...

Title of program: CheckMATE, AnalysisManager
Catalogue Id: AEUT_v1_1

Nature of problem
The LHC has delivered a wealth of new data that is now being analysed. Both ATLAS and CMS have performed many searches for new physics that theorists are eager to test their model against. However, tuning the detector simulations, understanding the particular analysis details and interpreting the results can be a tedious and repetitive task. Furthermore, new analyses are being constantly published by the experiments and might be not yet included in the official CheckMATE distribution.
