    SARAH is a Mathematica package optimized for the fast and exhaustive analysis of supersymmetric models. It has been designed to handle every N = 1 SUSY theory with an arbitrary direct product of SU (n) and/or U (1) factors as gauge group. The chiral superfields can transform under arbitrary, irreducible representations with regard to this gauge group, and all possible renormalizable...

    In this talk, I would like to present FeynRules, a Mathematica® package that allows the calculation of Feynman rules in momentum space for any quantum field theory physics model, starting from the model Lagrangian. The Feynman rules calculated by the code can then be used to implement the new physics model into other existing tools, such as Monte Carlo generators, via a set of dedicated...

    In this presentation we release the new version 2.1 of the Monte Carlo event generator WHIZARD for high-energy physics collider experiment simulations. After reviewing the status of the new development line 2.x, we discuss news and improvements coming with the first major revision 2.1. These include the analytic parton shower for initial and final state radiation, developments in the...

    We describe recent extensions of the program SPheno including flavour aspects, CP-phases, R-parity violation and low energy observables. In case of flavour mixing all masses of supersymmetric particles are calculated including the complete flavour structure and all possible CP-phases at the 1-loop level. We give details on implemented seesaw models, low energy observables and the...

    We present a Fortran code which calculates the production cross section for the (lightest) Higgs boson in the SM and MSSM resulting from gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation. Differential and total cross sections are obtained at NLO in gluon fusion, taking into account the full contribution from the third generation of quarks and squarks in the MSSM. Inclusive weighted results up to...

    We present the current status of the public Fortran code HiggsBounds. The program confronts arbitrary Higgs sectors with the exclusion limits from direct Higgs searches at LEP, Tevatron and the LHC. We demonstrate a recent improvement of the model likeness criteria, which allows in particular Higgs searches combining different channels to be applied to a wider class of models....

    The practical introduction into CalcHEP package and High Energy Physics Model database will be given together with the short tutorial. CalcHEP is a powerful tool for theoretical, phenomenological and experimental studies in High Energy Physics (HEP). CalcHEP allows users to automate the calculations and studies starting from the introduction of any user-defined model and ending by the...

    In this talk, I will give an overview of the main properties and functionalities of the CLUMPY code. CLUMPY performs a semi-analytical calculation of the γ-ray flux astrophysical J-factor from dark matter annihilation/decay in the Galaxy, including dark matter substructures. The code can be used in three modes: i) to draw skymaps from the Galactic smooth component and/or the substructure...

    In this talk I will demonstrate how to use the AMIDAS package online for both Monte-Carlo simulations and analyzing (pseudo)data sets to extract properties of halo WIMPs, e.g., the mass and the (ratios between the) spin-independent and spin-dependent couplings/cross sections on nucleons. In order to show the model-independence of the AMIDAS package, a comparison between the...

    The dark matter particle is currently being searched for with several observational channels, including the LHC and direct detection experiments. These experiments already place constraints on a number of theoretical WIMP models, including weak-scale supersymmetry (SUSY). In this talk, I will present constraints on the parameters of the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model...

    I will discuss the new neutrino telescope likelihood routines in DarkSUSY. These are based on a fast method for including event-level IceCube data in likelihood calculations, and are optimised for global-fit type parameter explorations of theories for new physics. The likelihood construction is not at all specific to SUSY, and includes both angular and spectral information about neutrino...

    Now that predictions of supersymmetric models can finally be compared to LHC data, it is important to have a means of quickly evaluating signal rates for parameter points during scans without having to generate and analyze full Monte Carlo simulations. We have written C++ code (LHC-FASER) which quickly estimates the event rates that would be seen at LHC, taking into account production...

    We present MadAnalysis 5, a new framework for phenomenological inves- tigations at particle colliders. Based on a C++ kernel, this program allows to efficiently perform, in a straightforward and user-friendly fashion, sophis- ticated physics analyses of event files such as those generated by a large class of Monte Carlo event generators. MadAnalysis 5 comes with two modes of running. The...

    Contrarily to most of the previous colliders, the initial state at the LHC is charge asymmetric. This property has been measured on the W process by the ATLAS and the CMS collaborations using their 2010 datasets. We propose a new method to use the global charge asymmetry of a production process to constrain the mass of its final state. We'll illustrate this method using particle level...

    We perform global fits to the parameters of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) and to a variant with non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM1), taking into account the current LHC exclusions from searches in jets plus missing transverse energy signatures with about 5/fb integrated luminosity. We include the recent LHCb upper bound on the branching...

    We present a framework for precision calculations and numerical studies in the NMSSM. As a first example, we study the decay of a NMSSM Higgs boson into two photons and show that the interpretation of the excess recently observed in the Higgs searches at the LHC in terms of a 125 GeV Higgs with an enhanced gamma gamma rate would be compatible with the lightest CP-even Higgs in the NMSSM....

    This serves as a tutorial for the WHIZARD Monte Carlo multi-purpose event generator for high-energy physics. It will be shown how to install the package, how to run the program, how to generate processes, integrate them, how to set up general cuts, how to shower and hadronize events and how to use the internal graphics analysis tool.
