Pythia6.4 Herwig++ Whizard,? Yes, to be cross-checked Further studies needed to understand differences between generator implementations

Z'->ee,mumu,tbar{t},WW, Mass=[1-2] TeV Need a clear reference Pythia6.4 (no Helicities) FHerwig (only to fermions), Herwig++(with helicities) in near future Madgraph, McAtNlo, Sherpa (SSM), Whizard (fermions, VV are added) No ...
W'->enu, munu, WZ Mass=[1-2] TeV Need a clear reference Pythia6.4 (no Helicities) FHerwig (only to fermions), Herwig++(with helicities) in near future Whizard (as part of Little Higgs models) No ...
Randall-Sundrum -> photon photon, e+e-, ZZ (K/Mp = 2 Mass(graviton) = 1.5TeV) + (K/Mp = 0.05 Mass(graviton) = 500GeV) Pythia6.4 FHerwig & Herwig++ No ...
BlackHole, missing parameters ? Charybdis or Blackmax ? No ...

NMSSM, check previous les houches ? No Final validation in Herwig++ Calchep, Whizard Being tested ...
Hidden valley HidSec_benchmark_points  ??? Working on it (dark cascade) Sherpa (Working on it), what else ? David working on SUSY + hidden U(1) benchmark points not found by standard SUSY searches. multiple leptons, photons, taus, bs. l+l-,gammagamma resonnances.
Heavy Majorana neutrinos Which model ? ex. arXiv/0812.4313 Pythia6.4 No Calchep Lorenzo Basso cross-checking Z' in the U(1)_B-L model Basso LH09 talk
WR->l VR What the model actually is ? Pythia6.4 No  ? ...
Technicolor : techni-a -> Wgamma, Zgamma Low-scale technicolor ? Pythia6.4 No No ...
Unparticles : di-gamma continuum Pythia6.4 No No ...
Fourth generation : b', t' - what masses ? Pythia6.4 No Sherpa (including CKM mixing), Whizard (prep.) Useless ...


Open issues

  • Need to be more explicit about versions of generators required
  • Need to check what can be done with Pythia8
  • Whenever possible, do we compare cross-sections from different generators ?

A les houches BSM svn repository will be setup to store data cards (FeynRules or others) for the different points/generators. Please contact Renaud.BruneliereNoSpamcern.ch and Filip.MoortgatNoSpamcern.ch for getting writting rights.
