SUSY Les Houches Accord 2
The Supersymmetry Les Houches Accord (SLHA) [1] provides a universal set of conventions for conveying spectral and decay information for supersymmetry analysis problems in high energy physics. Here, we propose extensions of the conventions of the first SLHA to include various generalizations: the minimal supersymmetric standard model with violation of CP, R-parity, and flavor, as well as the simplest next-to-minimal model

FDCSUSYDecay: A MSSM Decay package
FDCSUSYDecay is a FORTRAN program package generated by FDC (Feynman Diagram
Calculation) system fully automatically. It is dedicated to calculate at
tree-level all the possible 2-body decays of SUSY and Higgs particles in the
Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). The format of
its output files complies with SUSY Les Houches Accord and can be easily
imported by other packages.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures; misprints correcte
Proposal for generalised Supersymmetry Les Houches Accord for see-saw models and PDG numbering scheme
The SUSY Les Houches Accord (SLHA) 2 extended the first SLHA to include
various generalisations of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as
well as its simplest next-to-minimal version. Here, we propose further
extensions to it, to include the most general and well-established see-saw
descriptions (types I/II/III, inverse, and linear) in both an effective and a
simple gauged extension of the MSSM framework. In addition, we generalise the
PDG numbering scheme to reflect the properties of the particles.Comment: 44 pages. Changed titl
A Quick Guide to SUSY Tools
The last decade has seen the emergence of a wide range of automated
calculations for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. This guide
contains a brief summary of these, with the main focus on hadron collider
phenomenology, as well as a brief introduction to the so-called SUSY Les
Houches Accord. See also the Les Houches Web Repository for BSM Tools:

MadGraph/MadEvent v4: The New Web Generation
We present the latest developments of the MadGraph/MadEvent Monte Carlo event
generator and several applications to hadron collider physics. In the current
version events at the parton, hadron and detector level can be generated
directly from a web interface, for arbitrary processes in the Standard Model
and in several physics scenarios beyond it (HEFT, MSSM, 2HDM). The most
important additions are: a new framework for implementing user-defined new
physics models; a standalone running mode for creating and testing matrix
elements; generation of events corresponding to different processes, such as
signal(s) and backgrounds, in the same run; two platforms for data analysis,
where events are accessible at the parton, hadron and detector level; and the
generation of inclusive multi-jet samples by combining parton-level events with
parton showers. To illustrate the new capabilities of the package some
applications to hadron collider physics are presented:
1) Higgs search in pp \to H \to W^+W^-: signal and backgrounds.
2) Higgs CP properties: pp \to H jj$in the HEFT.
3) Spin of a new resonance from lepton angular distributions.
4) Single-top and Higgs associated production in a generic 2HDM.
5) Comparison of strong SUSY pair production at the SPS points.
6) Inclusive W+jets matched samples: comparison with the Tevatron data.Comment: 38 pages, 15 figure
micrOMEGAs: Version 1.3
We present the latest version of micromegas, a code that calculates the relic
density of the lightest supersymmetric particle in the MSSM. All tree-level
processes for the annihilation of the LSP are included as well as all possible
coannihilation processes with neutralinos, charginos, sleptons, squarks and
gluinos. The cross-sections extracted from CalcHEP are calculated exactly using
loop-corrected masses and mixings as specified in the SUSY Les Houches Accord.
Relativistic formulae for the thermal average are used and care is taken to
handle poles and thresholds by adopting specific integration routines. The
input parameters can be either the soft SUSY parameters in a general MSSM or
the parameters of a SUGRA model specified at some high scale (GUT). In the
latter case, a link with Suspect, Softsusy, Spheno and Isajet allows to
calculate the supersymmetric spectrum, Higgs masses, as well as mixing
matrices. Higher-order corrections to Higgs couplings to quark pairs including
QCD as well as some SUSY corrections (deltaMb) are implemented. Routines
calculating (g-2), bsgamma and bsmumu are also included. In particular the
bsgamma routine includes an improved NLO for the SM and the charged Higgs while
the SUSY large tan(beta) effects beyond leading-order are included. This new
version also provides cross-sections for any 2->2 process as well as partial
decay widths for two-body final states in the MSSM allowing for easy simulation
at colliders.Comment: 45 page
SModelS v1.0: a short user guide
SModelS is a tool for the automatic interpretation of simplified-model
results from the LHC. Version 1.0 of the code is now publicly available. This
document provides a quick user guide for installing and running SModelS v1.0.Comment: The code is available for download at http://smodels.hephy.at
