Description
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 cross-sections, branching ratios,
and the effect of kinematic cuts, and does not rely on any particular SUSY-breaking
scheme or mass hierarchy. This can be of particular use to fitting codes, especially since
the lack of observation of sparticles thus far implies that event rates may be the only
measurable observable available for the foreseeable future. The new version of LHC-
FASER has a much larger, updated signal set.
