High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2024-06-17 v1

Abstract

This is the manual for the version 2 of HackAnalysis, a powerful, lightweight, versatile and, most importantly, hackable, recasting tool. New features in this version include: compressed event format storage for ultra-fast development; integration of new physics and mathematics routines via RestFrames and Eigen; automatic computation of systematic uncertainties; an interface to ONNX for neural networks; easy implementation of new models via QNUMBERS blocks; a python package for interfacing to pyhf, spey and in-built statistics routines for fast computation of experimental limits; improved integration with BSMArt for fast scanning, and a new batch running/convergence check. Several new (electroweakino) analyses are included with this release.
