MadAnalysis 5 Public Analysis Database (PAD) for recasting LHC results

This page contains a collection of LHC analyses that have been implemented in the MadAnalysis 5 framework (in the expert mode) described in ​arXiv:1405.3982 and ​arXiv:1407.3278. Extensive step-by-step lecture notes can be found in ​arXiv:1808.00480, and documentation on the treatment of the theoretical uncertainties and high-luminosity extrapolations within the PAD can be found in ​arXiv:1910.11418.

The simulation of the response of the ATLAS and CMS detector can either be handled by Delphes 3, or through the new built-in SFS fast simulation relying on smearing and efficiency functions documented in ​arXiv:2006.09387 or ​here.

For each analysis, a commented C++ code is available for download, provided together with information on the analysis and references to relevant publications. Documentation on the careful validation associated with each implementation is also available.

The current version of MadAnalysis 5 is ​version 1.8. One of the analyses below however requires a newer version, v1.9.4 (or more recent) that can be obtained ​from LaunchPad.

In order to use the analyses implemented in the PAD, one needs to install a detector simulator and the corresponding library of recast analyses. Three options are available.

• The simulation of the detector response can be dealt with Delphes 3. The PAD installation can be achieved by typing install delphes; install PAD in the MadAnalysis 5 shell, and by then restarting the program. This setup concerns most run 2 analyses currently implemented.
• The simulation of the detector response can be dealt with the SFS infrastructure relying on smearing and efficiency functions. The PAD installation can here be achieved by typing install fastjet; install PADForSFS in the MadAnalysis 5 shell, and by then restarting the program. For now, this alternative to Delphes 3 is rather new and only few analyses use it.
• The simulation of the detector response can be dealt with the MA5tune of Delphes 3 that is relevant for a good number of run 1 analyses. The PAD installation can be achieved by typing install delphesMA5tune; install PADForMA5tune in the MadAnalysis 5 shell, and by then restarting the program.

Although we have various options for taking care of the detector simulation (SFS, Delphes and DelphesMA5tune), we recommend, when developing a new recasting code, to use the latest MA5 version linked to either the SFS framework, or the standard Delphes 3. The implementation of a new analysis is detailed in ​arXiv:1808.00480, as well as ​here for what concerns the SFS. In a nutshell, new analyses (within the PAD or separately) can be added by running the script newAnalyzer.py (located in PAD/Build/SampleAnalyzer), passing as an argument the name of the analysis of interest. For instance,

 python newAnalyzer.py cms_sus_14_001 cms_sus_14_001

will create and modify the necessary files for adding the analysis named cms_sus_14_001. In particular, a pair of header and source C++ files cms_sus_14_001.cpp and cms_sus_14_001.h is now available in the sub-directory PAD/Build/SampleAnalyzer/User/Analyzer. We can now either implement the analysis on our own, or replace the newly created files with those shared by somebody else (or downloaded from the list below in case the automatic PAD installation introduced above is not used).

We strongly encourage users to publish their re-implemented LHC analyses on the ​MadAnalysis 5 dataverse. This way they become individually citable. Please send us an email to get your recast code added to the dataverse and to the PAD. Recommendations regarding the proper validation are given in ​arXiv:1407.3278 and ​arXiv:1808.00480. Note that for every analysis that is part of the PAD, a detailed validation note is required.

For any information on the implementation of an analysis, on the database or on the expert mode of the program, please visit the 'Answers' section of our ​LaunchPad page.

In order to test a new physics signal (corresponding to a Monte Carlo sample mysample.hep.gz or mysample.hepmc.gz), it is sufficient to start MadAnalysis 5 in the reco mode (./bin/ma5 -R) and type

    set main.recast = on
    set main.recast.store_root = False
    import <path-to-the-event-sample>
    submit

The interpreter then asks to edit the recasting card where one can tick/un-tick the analyses that need to be recast. One can also use the command

    set main.recast.card_path = <path-to-a-recasting-card>

to provide the recasting card directly. The output directory contains event samples after detector simulation if the store_root option has been set to True, as well as exclusions (1-CLs) and efficiency information for each signal region of each of the selected analyses. The cross section excluded at the 95% CL for each region is also provided as additional information.
