Efficiency maps for "Scalar versus fermionic top partner interpretations of ttbar + MET searches at the LHC", arXiv:1607.02050

by Sabine Kraml, Ursula Laa, Luca Panizzi and Hugo Prager

As a service to the reader and potential user of our work, we here provide the efficiency maps (or more precisely acceptance × efficiency maps) which we derived with CheckMATE and MadAnalysis5 for this paper. Concretely, these are the maps for the ttbar + MET final state from scalar (SUSY) and fermionic (Xtra Quark) top-partner profuction for

• the all-hadronic stop search ATLAS CONF-2013-024 implemented in CheckMATE;
• the 1-lepton stop searches ATLAS 1407.0583 (in CheckMATE) and CMS 1308.1586 (CMS-SUS-13-011 in MadAnalysis5);
• the 2-lepton stop search ATLAS 1403.4853 in CheckMATE;
• the gluino/squark search with 2-6 jets, ATLAS 1405.7875 in both CheckMATE and MadAnalysis5.

Each map is a simple ascii text file identified by its filename in the form

scenario_analysis_recastingtool.txt

For example, SUSY_L_atlas_1403_4853_CheckMATE.txt is the efficiency map for left-stops, i.e. couplings of benchmark (600,10)L in the paper, of the ATLAS analysis 1403.4853 derived with CheckMATE.

The file format is top-partner mass, LSP or DM mass, followed by all the signal regions considered. Masses are given in GeV, the acceptance × efficiency values in absolute numbers (not in percent). For each point in the map, 100K events were simulated.

There are in total 36 efficiency maps. You can download them here as a single .tgz file
(the atlas_1405_7875_MA5 maps are now also included).

For completeness, we also provide the SUSY-L and SUSY-R template SLHA files, the UFO files for the XQ model as well as the MadGraph5 run card and the Phytia6 run card used for the event simulation.
