CheckMATE
=======
[![AUR badge][AUR badge]][AUR]
CheckMATE installer Arch Linux.
[CheckMATE][homepage] (Check Models At Terascale Energies) is a program package
which accepts simulated event files in many formats for any given model. The
program then determines whether the model is excluded or not at 95% C.L. by
comparing to many recent experimental analyses. Furthermore the program can
calculate confidence limits and provide detailed information about signal
regions of interest. It is simple to use and the program structure allows for
easy extensions to upcoming LHC results in the future.
CheckMATE is built upon the tools and hard work of many people. If CheckMATE is used in your publication it is important that all of the following citations are included:
