Designing and recasting LHC analyses with MadAnalysis 5

Understand

We present an extension of the expert mode of the MadAnalysis 5 program dedicated to the design or reinterpretation of high-energy physics collider analyses.

• We detail the predefined classes, functions and methods available to the user and emphasize the most recent developments.
• The latter include the possible definition of multiple sub-analyses and a novel user-friendly treatment for the selection criteria.
• We illustrate this approach by two concrete examples: a CMS search for supersymmetric partners of the top quark and a phenomenological analysis targeting hadronically decaying monotop systems.
