A Bottom-Up Approach to SUSY Analyses
Horn, Claus (SLAC)
This paper proposes a new way to perform event generation and analysis in searches for new physics at the LHC.
An abstract notation is used to describe the new particles on a level which better corresponds to detector resolution of LHC experiments. In this way the SUSY discovery space can be decomposed into a small number of eigenmodes each with only a few parameters, which allows to investigate the SUSY parameter space in a model-independent way.
