Implementation of statistical methods in the context of BSM Higgs boson searches — Andrew Gilbert, Felix Frensch, •Dennis Roy, Günter Quast, and Roger Wolf — EKP, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

After the discovery of the Higgs boson the quest is out to search for additional particles. One of the still most promising models, which predict additional Higgs bosons is the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM). With new data of the LHC Run-2, we hope to find such new particles. An important channel to consider is the φ→ττ channel, which has set the most stringent limits on MSSM Higgs bosons so far.

A new software package called Combine Harvester has been developed within the CMS collaboration to ease statistical manipulations of the data, starting from the creation of the likelihood model up to the plotting of the results. Using the φ→ττ channel as an example, this presentation shall introduce and explain the functionality of Combine Harvester and its capabilities.
