Introduction
SModelS is based on a general procedure to decompose Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) collider signatures presenting a Z2 symmetry into Simplified Model Spectrum (SMS) topologies. Our method provides a way to cast BSM predictions for the LHC in a model independent framework, which can be directly confronted with the relevant experimental constraints. The main SModelS ingredients are
- the decomposition of the BSM spectrum into SMS topologies
- a database of experimental SMS results
- the interface between decomposition and results database to compute limits
Code and Database updates
- For code and database releases, see Download
Installation
- For instructions on how to install SModelS, check the installation section in the manual.
Experimental results in the database
- Here is the list of analyses contained in the latest database version
- Same as above but including superseded analyses
- Pretty validation plots for all analyses
- We also provide an SMS dictionary explaining the Tx names used by SModelS
Publications and Talks

SMS wishlist
A wishlist regarding the presentation of SMS results was worked out at the 2013 Les Houches workshop, see this page.
