CheckMATE: Confronting your Favourite New Physics Model with LHC Data

Drees, Manuel, Dreiner, Herbi, Kim, Jong Soo et al.

Understand

In the first three years of running, the LHC has delivered a wealth of new data that is now being analysed.

With over 20 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, 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 task.
CheckMATE (Check Models At Terascale Energies) is a program package which accepts simulated event files in many formats for any model.
