Continuous simulation of hypothetical physics processes with multiple free parameters

Abstract

We propose a new approach to simulate hypothetical physics processes which are defined by multiple free parameters. Compared to the conventional grid-scan approach, the new method can produce accurate estimations of the detector acceptance and signal event yields continuously over the parameter space with fewer simulation events. The performance of this method is illustrated with two realistic cases.Comment: 19 pages, 14 figures; ISSN 0168-900
