Description

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 superpotential terms are supported. New models can be implemented in an easy and straight-forward manner and SARAH can create as output model files for FeynArts/FormCalc, CalcHep/CompHep, WHIZARD and Madgraph. In addition, SARAH can be used as spectrum-generator-generatore because it writes modules for SPheno to create a full-fledged spectrum calculator for new models. The features of these spectrum generators include a precise mass spectrum calculation using two-loop RGEs and full one-loop corrections, two and three body decays of SUSY and Higgs particles as well as the calculation of electroweak precision observables. Furthermore, SARAH is the heart of the recently presented 'SUSY toolbox' which provides an environment for the study of MSSM extensions using SPheno, CalcHep/MicrOmegas, WHIZARD and Higgsbounds. This framework combines the different outputs of SARAH to provide a closed tool-chain from model building to phenomenology.
