Description |
I present a new tool, SModelS, for decomposing generic SUSY spectra into simplified models (SMS) topologies and testing them against the existing SMS limits from the LHC. This tool is in principle applicable to any beyond the Standard Model theory respecting a Z2 symmetry. I will explain the working principle of SModelS, as well as its validation and limitations. As a show-case example, I will then present its application for the study of light neutralino dark matter in the MSSM (arXiv:1308.3735). Here I will discuss the viability of light neutralino DM with mass below 35 GeV consistent with LHC bounds. This is a promising way to probe the light neutralino dark matter scenario in the next run of the LHC. |
