Abstract
During its first run, the LHC has discovered the Higgs boson and provided powerful constraints on new physics. A large number of experimental results has been made public and, during its second data taking run (Run II) an even larger number of analyses is expected. Both ATLAS and CMS have adopted the Simplified Models framework to interpret their results in terms of new physics constraints and the same is expected for the Run II results. Despite the amazing effort made by the experimental collaborations, in its large majority the constraints obtained for simplified models can not be directly applied to full Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) models, such as the MSSM. Therefore, there is a significant gap between the results published by the experimental collaborations (for simplified models) and the real constraints on BSM models. In the recent years, a few groups have undertaken the task of trying to bridge this gap with different approaches. This project is based on one of such attempts, named SModelS. SModelS is a public software comprising a set of tools, which allows the user to systematically apply LHC constraints to a large class of BSM models. Nonetheless, the current version of the software has limited applicability and its database comprises only the 8 TeV results. In this project we propose several developments of the SModelS tool, which can help bridge the gap between the theory and experimental communities and extend the applicability of the current software.
