SUSY Recast

Date:	April 8-9 2011
Location:	University of California Davis
Building:	Buehler Alumni & Visitors Center, Founder's Room
	and Physics 185

Abstract:

SUSY Recast will focus on using the analyses that are currently available for limits (assuming no discovery by the time of the workshop) on supersymmetric models and on recasting/reusing these limits to place limits on models that have not been analyzed by the experimental community. The idea is to develop a procedure for a theorist to propose a model, send new physics events generated in this model to the experimental collaborations at the LHC, and have the experimental collaborations come back quickly with the limits on the new model.
